Naughty N'awlins 2026

Naughty N'awlins 2026 ran from Wednesday 8 to Sunday 12 July 2026 — five days and four nights across several French Quarter hotels, with the Astor Crowne Plaza at the corner of Bourbon and Canal, 739 Canal Street, as the main hub and NOPSI and The Saint hosting their own crowds and programming. Attendance was promoted at roughly 2,600, with one projection putting it nearer 3,000 on the back of 2025's figures; passes were sold at US$900 per person for the full run rather than by the night.

The programme followed the convention's established shape. Daytime ran seminars and workshops on communication, consent, jealousy and relationship structures, alongside pool parties and themed daytime events; nights ran costume parties, play spaces and club nights through until the early hours. Saturday 11 July was the peak day, carrying the major themed balls and the Sexual Freedom Parade — the public, celebratory procession through the French Quarter that has become the convention's most visible tradition and the thing that distinguishes it from a resort takeover.

As in previous years, attendees came from across the United States and internationally, many of them returning regulars, and the event kept its 18+ policy and its consent-first rules on photography and approach.

This edition has already taken place and is listed here as a record. Naughty N'awlins returns to New Orleans each July.

A rolling five-day programme rather than a billed line-up: daytime seminars and workshops on communication, consent, jealousy and relationship structures; pool parties and themed daytime events; and nightly costume parties, play spaces and club nights. Saturday 11 July was the peak day, carrying the major themed balls and the Sexual Freedom Parade.
