CLICK HERE FOR VALENTINE PARADE!!!!!!!!
The 6t’9 Social Aid & Pleasure Club hosts an annual parade, for kids of ALL ages, the Saturday night before Halloween. We roll from the 6th Ward to the 9th Ward (thus 6t'9), from 6 PM to 9 PM, in the backstreets of New Orleans.

We are a social club that has put on never-before-seen street spectacles and stunning parades. We are dedicated to preserving the traditions of New Orleans while creating new rituals of surpassing beauty.

Our club has brought together traditional social aid & pleasure clubs, skeleton bone gangs, hipsters, bohemians, and an eclectic group of individuals from all walks of life. We all work together to throw our Halloween parade and to participate in social activities in the downtown neighborhoods of New Orleans.
We are a social aid and pleasure club and we are committed to our communities. We threw the first house gutting party in New Orleans just 69 days after Hurricane Katrina, and it turned out to be the beginning of heroic sustained efforts that rebuild The House of Dance and Feathers, a cultural museum in the Lower 9th Ward, that was completely devistated by the floods. We have also participated in back-to-school picnics and neighborhood festivals with such groups as The Fi Yi Yi Mardi Gras Indian Tribe, The Backstreet Cultural Museum, and The Porch.

We are a social aid and pleasure club and we are committed to our pleasure. We offer a year-round calendar of events for our members, including a 13th Night Party, a Mardi Gras march through the 9th Ward, and The KontraFlow Festival during JazzFest.
Whether your aim is social aid, pleasure, or both, we invite you to explore our website to find out more about who we are, what we do, and how you can be part of the 6t’9 Social Aid & Pleasure Club.

The 6t’9 Social Aid & Pleasure Club is modeled on the Benevolent Societies that flourished in New Orleans in the 19th Century. These clubs originally formed so that people living in segregation and poverty could aid one another during times of crisis such as illness, job loss, or death.
They put on parades celebrating the triumph of life over death and in doing so, created community pride and solidarity. The Jazz Funeral and second line parade traditions became the signature events for which these clubs and, indeed, the city of New Orleans became famous.
