DomCon New Orleans 2026

DomCon's New Orleans convention, Wednesday 30 September to Sunday 4 October 2026, at the Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Quarter on Canal Street at Bourbon.

Five days run to a published schedule. The registration desk opens at 11:30 on the Wednesday alongside an Industry Only Seminar Series for people who work in kink and adult entertainment; Thursday brings the vendor load-in, a red carpet social and opening ceremonies with an awards presentation; Friday and Saturday run a full exhibitor hall by day, with community socials for professional Dommes, submissives and switches, first-time attendees, BIPOC attendees and gender-expansive attendees, plus a peer-led recovery meeting. Both nights end with a ticketed play party from 9 PM to 2 AM.

The weekend's centrepiece is the DomCon Second Line Parade at 7 PM on the Friday — a fetish-wear parade through the French Quarter behind a seven-piece jazz brass band, a Grand Marshall and a police escort, held to honour the community's dead and celebrate the living. The organiser says it happens only at the New Orleans convention.

Every attendee must present valid photo ID to collect a badge, with no exceptions. Some items — the opening ceremonies and both play parties — are ticketed separately from convention registration. The organiser bills this as its 23rd year. No ticket prices are published on the pages that could be read.
