Boo Carre Halloween Haunt

The French Market District is hosting the annual Boo Carre Halloween Haunt in Dutch Alley on Saturday, October 25 from 11am-4pm.

The one-day kid-centric event encourages costumes for all ages and will feature live music, children’s activities, a spooktacular Spooky Second Line, and trick-or-treating. Children wearing a costume are eligible to receive a free Boo Carre tote bag for trick-or-treating in the French Market District. One bag per child, while supplies last. This event is free and open to the public.

Your event experience will begin in Dutch Alley, in the 900 block of N. Peters Street, where our Trick-or-Treat (TOT) bag distribution will take place at the festival information booth alongside our music stage and kid’s activities.

Visit the Market Cafe for a deliciously refreshing ZOMBIE! The ZOMBIE includes: Bacardi Dark Rum, spiced rum, pineapple juice, lime/lemon juice, cranberry juice, a splash of grenadine, and an orange garnish. The ZOMBIE is served in a Souvenir Boo Carre Cup!
