Southern Decadence to celebrate 52 years of LGBTQ pride in New Orleans
The annual Southern Decadence party began in the 1970s as a tiny, end-of-summer party between friends. But it’s since grown into one of the country’s largest LGBTQ celebrations with a showstopping parade the Sunday before Labor Day.
This year marks the event’s 52nd iteration. Organizers anticipate tens of thousands of tourists to flock to the many gay bars in the French Quarter and nearby neighborhoods beginning Thursday.
More than 250 events are advertised throughout the weekend on gaynola.com, the city’s central calendar for queer-friendly activities. Highlights include a performance by actor Billy Porter at Bourbon Pub, pop-up boogie parties at the Joy Theater and The Fillmore and female-focused events Grrlspot and Her Haus.
Three volunteer grand marshals will oversee a large parade through the French Quarter on Sunday starting at 2 p.m. They include local performers Vanessa Carr Kennedy, Jeffrey Mayeaux and Paribe Meyer.
More than 1,800 people are expected to march in this year’s procession
