New Orleans doesn't need much of an excuse, but it has two great ones. Southern Decadence takes over the French Quarter every Labor Day weekend — a sprawling, all-day street party, with the Joy Theater and hotel pools hosting names like Bearracuda and Horse Meat Disco. Then Halloween New Orleans (HNO) turns the city into a costumed circuit weekend all over again, with the Lazarus Ball raising money for the cause. Bourbon Street never really closes, so pace yourself: this is a marathon town wearing a sprint's outfit.
