New Orleans City Park Hosting Two Spooky Events This October

As pumpkin spice everything hits store shelves, we start turning our attention to "fall" in south Louisiana and all the things that come with it like -- football, hunting season, still cutting our grass, and, oh yeah, Halloween.

The latter is a fun holiday that so many of us look forward to, mostly on account of not having to invite family over.

In the month of October across the state there are lots of great haunted houses, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and the like that draw folks from all over the state to check out.

If you want to take a trip to New Orleans for Halloween, then you may want to go New Orleans City Park for one of two big events being held there. And the cool thing is, both are fundraisers.

Ghosts in the Oaks is happening October 20-23 and features four nights of trick-or-treating, rides, arts & crafts, a pumpkin patch, and treats for all ages.

Then October 28-29 the park will host Brews and Boos, which features adults-only access to the amusement park and a ghastly amount of beer for guys and ghouls 21+.

Admission to each event comes with unlimited amusement park rides and special themed giveaways.

“Seeing the amusement park decorated for Halloween not only gives our Park guests great joy, but our City Park team members as well – the excitement is palpable,” said Waymon Morris, Director of Recreational Services. “We’ve got some great treats, and tricks, in store for guests this season, and we cannot wait to share with them.”

Tickets for both events are on sale now. All tickets will be sold online and in advance. For more information, visit NewOrleansCityPark.com.
