Many, many events are FREE and open to the public. For example, there is no cover charge or pass required for the Official Southern Decadence Drag Show on Friday at the Golden Lantern, 1239 Royal St.; nor for Leather Decadence: The Largest Leather/Levi Block Party in the Southon Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Phoenix, 941 Elysian Fields.  An entry fee is not required for the Official Southern Decadence Parade on Sunday beginning at the Golden Lantern, nor to participate in the Official Southern Decadence Bead Toss also on Sunday below the world famous balcony at Ambush Headquarters, 828 Bourbon St.

You can find all of that information at events, or by picking up a copy of  the Official Southern Decadence Guide, Ambush Mag upon your arrival in New Orleans. There’s loads of  ads covering all of the hot spots of the Official Southern Decadence celebration.

However, Southern Decadence suggests that you can save money by buying separate VIP or weekend passes for the specific events at  Oz New Orleans, 800 Bourbon St.;  The Corner Pocket, 940 St. Louis St.; or Bourbon Pub & Parade, 801 Bourbon St.
