The Krewe of Boo announced it will be hosting its annual New Orleans Zombie Run for 2021, which is sponsored by PJ's Coffee. The "deadly" event will take place October 23 and will begin at Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant. Each deadly participant should dress as a zombie or a favored monster and meet up at Lucy's located on the corner of 701 Tchoupitoulas St. The Big Easy Rollergirls will be the official zombie hunters. Beware of their infamous paddles if caught!

VIP registration is also available for $75, which will include a Zombie Run t-shirt, admission to Lucy's second floor and balcony, and access to professional makeup artists to assist people with their perfect zombie look.

Following the race, the fun will continue with a party hosted by Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bar. From 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Krewe of Boo will have its traditional parade through the French Quarter, which will end in the Warehouse district.
