Marching Group from Krewe of Boo

       New Orleans and it's above-ground cemeteries hosts a lot of ghouls everyday of the year.

Saturday night encouraged all of the local and out-of-town ghouls to parade through the French Quarters.  This event invites young and old to participate in a rather new tradition. We celebrate the Feast of All Saints and All Hallows Eve with the same passion. A little fright causes squeals of delight when candy, and locally made goodies are thrown out by characters that make us a little creepy. Dancers moving to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the New Orleans' classic, "Morgus" delivered smiles to this local. Thank you Brian Kern for another great idea.

"  The Kern family has been creating Mardi Gras magic since 1947, and Brian is used to carnival innovations. Since taking the reigns of the exciting New Orleans Halloween parade, the Krewe of BOO, Brian Kern has come up with an innovative solution to the same-old-beads waste problem: Locally-made throws that won’t just be tons of trash to have to clean up after the parade passes by! New Orleans-made food items and local collectible objects parade goers will want to consume or keep as mementos of the exciting new celebration.

• 250 Eco Friendly cups from Giacona Container Company (Louisiana made)
• 750 pieces of candy made in the USA
