  It's 18 to enter, 21 to consume alcohol for all events at The Bourbon Pub / Parade. Much of Southern Decadence (including Sunday's parade) takes place in the streets of the French Quarter, and is open to the general public.
   
Can you recommend a hotel?
  SOME GREAT 2012 ADVANCE HOTEL RATES ARE AVAILABLE NOW !!
There are numerous hotels in the French Quarter and surrounding areas that we can confidently recommend.  Please check our Southern Decadence Hotel page.  And in 2012 there will be a large convention in New Orleans over Labor Day weekend, so it is best to make hotel reservations early.
   
Why should I book my hotel room through the SouthernDecadence.net website?
  We are affiliated with some of the largest online hotel booking services in the world, and offer special Internet rates at many of New Orleans’ finest hotels. It is unlikely that you will find better hotel deals anywhere else online.  Rooms book fast and many of the best deals are already gone.  So don't delay.
