I am going to New Orleans over the Halloween weekend. What type of clothes would be best to pack for the weather? Is it humid in November? Also - do a lot of people dress up in costumes for Halloween? Any advice you can offer would be great. Thank you!

Answer 2 :
Probably during that time it's gonna be like that spring/summer transitional weather. A little cold yet too warm. You'll probably be putting on like a wind breaker and down the road taking it off. No steadiness in the weather during that time. Probably will be raining so pack for walking in wet weather. Most likely there will be various halloween parties and get-togethers so costumes will be a plenty. During this time and all the times, in the French Quarter a mask can not fully cover the face. jabril♂♀

The end of October is somewhat unpredictable. Most likely, the weather will still be warm-ish with high temperatures around 80F and lows in the 60s. Pack (and choose a costume) for weather like that and check the forecast shortly before leaving home to make any necessary adjustments. Late October is NOT a particularly rainy time for New Orleans and the weather for Halloween is usually nice. Halloween has become like a one-night Mardi Gras in the French Quarter and Yes, many people costume during the evening & wander around. Anything is OK and recycling an old costume is OK. Wear whatever costume you like. I wore a Darth Vader costume with a full-head mask 2 years ago. There may or may not be a law on the books about masking except for Mardi Gras Day, but it is not enforced. Hope you have a great time!

My husband and I went last year for a week over Halloween. It was crazy! Make sure you bring a costume, EVERYONE was dressed up. The weather was perfect then too... we wore shorts and short sleeves all week.
