Our Festival Headquarters, and bulk of the fest screenings and events are held at the Prytania Theatres At Canal Place in downtown New Orleans at the edge of the French Quarter and the Central Business District. There are plenty of housing options in the area. There is no shortage of great places to stay all over the city, haunted or otherwise, but the best way to enjoy the festival is by booking a room with our partner hotels!
