This year marked the 47th anniversary of Southern Decadence, which is the annual, six-day, LGBTQ-based event held in New Orleans, Louisiana during Labor Day weekend. The celebration culminated in a parade through the French Quarter this past Sunday.
Southern Decadence has grown exponentially in both participants and visitors, as well as in terms of economic impact. Equally, if not more important, it is another celebration that once again showcased the welcoming spirit celebrated in New Orleans & Company’s important campaign, “Everyone is Welcome Here.”
In New Orleans, we don’t just find strength and inspiration in our diversity – we’re built by it.
