About Southern Decadence
Southern Decadence takes over the French Quarter for the long Labor Day weekend at the start of September — a walking parade on the Sunday, the Bourbon Street bars open round the clock and block parties on every corner. It is one of the largest gay gatherings in the US and feels nothing like a Pride.
