Naughty N’awlins July 8th-12th
Naughty N’awlins is a 5 day, 4 night, convention style hotel takeover built around alternative lifestyle travel. The event takes over multiple host hotels in downtown New Orleans and fills them with classes, parties, play spaces, and curated experiences designed for open minded couples who want to explore their sexuality in a structured, sex positive environment.
Registration packages cover the convention itself. After you register, you will receive links to book your room in one of the host hotels, including the Astor Crowne Plaza on Bourbon & Canal along with additional Naughty hotels nearby. Staying in the host hotels keeps you inside the takeover bubble and close to seminars, pool parties, evening balls, and late night playrooms.
By day, you can attend educational seminars, workshops, and meet & greets or wander the French Quarter. At night, the focus shifts to erotic theme balls, private Bourbon Street events, club takeovers, and large curated play spaces where consent and house rules are clearly posted and enforced.
