The Gay Bars
Before you get the schedule and plan your weekend for Southern Decadence, you will want to check out the Gay Bars in New Orleans.
The Official Headquarters
This year most of the events happen at the Bourbon Pub/Parade located at the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann Streets in the French Quarter.
Admission
Many of the events are free. However, for those events that are not free you might want to look into buying a weekend pass to save money.
