HexFest 2027: A Weekend of Witchery in Old New Orleans

Tales of the magic of the Crescent City of New Orleans stretch back over centuries. It is an enigmatic place where Voodoo, Hoodoo, Witchcraft, and even Christianity intertwine at the crossroads of spiritual power. On August 20 to 22, 2027, Brian Cain, Christian Day, and the Witches of New Orleans present HexFest: A Weekend of Witchery held in the heart of the historic French Quarter. The conference opens with a Riverboat Ritual Dinner aboard an authentic steamboat on the Mississippi River, followed by two full days of workshops, drumming, and ritual at The Bourbon Orleans Hotel—a venue steeped in haunting history. HexFest features Witches, rootworkers, Voodoo priests and other magical teachers from throughout New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta, each offering their time-honored wisdom. Between workshops, attendees can explore a curated selection of magical wares in our on-site vending room and share experiences with fellow attendees in an enchanting French Quarter courtyard garden.

HexFest registration includes admittance to all workshops, rituals, and performances at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, passage, dining, and ritual aboard an authentic riverboat, participation in any included walking tours, and access to our vending area and courtyard garden.
