About this Event

Goth Barge is thrilled to make its return to New Orleans, LA, on Friday, October 23, 2026, for a special Blood Barge Vampire Cruise! We are coming back to the mighty Mississippi River aboard the iconic Creole Queen Paddlewheeler to capture those vampire vibes just in time for spooky season. It is the ultimate way to kick off your weekend, especially if you are traveling into town for the Krewe of Boo parade happening the following evening.

Loading and boarding will take place from 6:15 PM to 6:45 PM, and we will be sailing the Mississippi from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM sharp. Mingle with hundreds of your fellow black-clad souls and prepare for the electrifying sounds of New Orleans' own EveHill alongside Goth Barge's Dance Commandr and XdominionX. They will keep the deck pulsating with your favorite goth, darkwave, synth, and industrial tracks.

A fully stocked bar accepting cash and credit will be available to keep your energy up. Tickets are $55 for advance purchase and $65 for general admission, plus local taxes. Please note there are no refunds, and the cruise proceeds rain or shine. Paid parking is available just steps from the Audubon Aquarium. The boat departs the Spanish Plaza Dock at 1 Poydras St. at 7:00 PM sharp, so do not be late! Please note that the cruise itself is an 18 and over event (21+ to drink).

Did you miss the boat? Don't despair! Join us for the after-party from 9:00 PM until close at The Crypt, located at 1301 St. Bernard Ave. The Crypt often keeps the dark vibes going till 4:00 AM, so come ready to dance late into the night.
