Voodoo Music + Arts Experience
The Halloween-weekend rock festival in City Park has not been held since 2019. Listings for 'Voodoo Fest 2026' and later are not real.
Not currently held. Last held 25–27 October 2019 in City Park. On indefinite hiatus since 2020.
About Voodoo Fest
Voodoo was founded in 1999 and for two decades filled City Park over the Halloween weekend. It was cancelled in 2020, 2021 and 2022, and local press described it as on indefinite hiatus from 2022. When we checked in October 2026 its old website no longer resolved.
Some calendar and ticket-resale sites still list future 'Voodoo Fest' dates. We found no announcement from an organiser to support them.
For Halloween weekend in the city, see Halloween and the Krewe of BOO! parade.
