What October feels like
October is the month this place has been waiting for — the humidity finally lets go and every neighborhood seems to run a festival. Halloween is taken seriously here; the Krewe of Boo rolls through the Quarter and the costumes are not store-bought.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
