When is
Southern Decadence Weekend in 2010? |
| |
Southern Decadence is always
Labor Day Weekend. In 2010, the Southern Decadence dates
are Wednesday, September 1 through Monday, September 6 |
| |
|
|
What is the minimum age for admission to
Southern Decadence events? |
| |
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. |
| |
|
|
What does a Southern Decadence Weekend
Pass include? |
| |
If you want to save money and don't like to
wait in line, this is for you. Purchase a Weekend Pass
and enjoy Free Admission to nightly Southern Decadence
events at
The Bourbon Pub / Parade. You will have full access to
the Priority Entrance, which
allows you to bypass the general admission line.
You will also receive a free seven-day full membership to
the "Mardi Gras Boys Street Fair Men" website when
you pick up your Weekend Pass in New Orleans.
A weekend pass does not include admission to the Lady Bunny show, but advance tickets to
this event may be purchased online. Weekend
Passes and advance tickets go on sale soon. |
| |
|
Why should I purchase a Weekend Pass
online in advance instead of waiting
until later? |
| |
There are good reasons to purchase
a Weekend Pass
online. We only sell a limited number of Weekend Passes,
and we sold out last year before the weekend even started. And if you purchase in
advance you will save a few bucks compared to the cost of
nightly admissions. The weekend pass price will increase
as Southern Decadence approaches. |
| |
|
|
Will I receive a refund for a Bourbon
Pub / Parade Weekend Pass or advance tickets for Lady Bunny should a tropical storm interfere with
Southern Decadence? |
| |
Yes, The Bourbon Pub / Parade
will promptly refund any unused advance purchases should Mother
Nature interfere with Southern Decadence events. So it is
absolutely safe to make your Bourbon Pub / Parade purchases now and save a bundle.
Please note that some other venues did not refund advance
purchases as a result of Hurricane Gustav in 2008. |
| |
|
|
How will I receive my Weekend Pass and Lady Bunny tickets? |
| |
When you purchase a Weekend Pass or tickets to
the Lady Bunny show online using
our secure server, you will receive a confirmation email once
your transaction is processed. Just follow the
instructions on the confirmation to pick up your purchases
when you arrive in New Orleans for Southern Decadence weekend.
It couldn't be easier.

| |
|
|
Can you recommend a hotel? |
| |
There are numerous hotels in the French Quarter
and surrounding areas that we can confidently recommend.
Please check our
Southern Decadence Hotel page. And this year 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 are booking fast and many of the best
deals are already gone. So don't delay. |
| |
|
|
Are cameras permitted at Southern Decadence events? |
| |
Of course, cameras are
permitted on the streets of the French Quarter. Each
venue establishes their own policies regarding the on-premises
use of cameras, video recorders and camera cell phones. |
| |
|
|
Do many lesbians attend Southern
Decadence? |
| |
While predominantly a gay male
event, a surprising number of lesbians have discovered the
unique fun of Southern Decadence, and return year after year.
Southern Decadence is for the entire gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgendered community, and is very well attended by all. |
| |
