Swampus Returns: Sustainability on Parade

French Quarter

Sat, Oct 4
7:30pm

Halloween-season parade unlike anything else. Sustainable centered celebration featuring creative eco-friendly throws. No plastic. No corporate fluff. Just spooky, swamp themed fun.
FULL DESCRIPTION

Mark your calendars for a one-of-a-kind Halloween-season parade that could only happen in New Orleans. Swampus Returns takes over the French Quarter with haunted swamp creatures, handmade costumes, and throws you’ll actually want to catch.

This isn’t your typical corporate, plastic bead parade. Swampus Returns features foot-powered floats, upcycled costumes, and one-of-a-kind art pieces tossed by some of your favorite walking Krewes and local eco-organizations.

Expect glowing lanterns, eerie creatures of the bayou, and a celebration of sustainability wrapped in pure Halloween weirdness.

You won't find any plastic beads or trinkets from overseas, just one of a kind pieces of art and ideas made to help shift the culture towards more sustainable events.
