About 10/31 Consortium
Community Courage Creativity
10/31 Consortium is a Louisiana nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities, inspiring creativity, and creating opportunities for children and families through the power of Halloween. Since 2010, we have brought people together through charitable programs, volunteer service, community outreach, and the Fifolet Halloween Festival. What began as a small group of Halloween enthusiasts has grown into a year-round organization that serves families, develops young leaders, recognizes community excellence, and produces one of Louisiana's most unique Halloween celebrations.
Our work is guided by three core values:
Community
We believe Halloween has the power to bring neighbors together, strengthen relationships, and create lasting memories. By celebrating together, we build a stronger, more connected community.
10/31 Krewe
Our community comes to life through the 10/31 Krewe, where members build friendships, volunteer together, and keep Halloween traditions alive year-round.
Courage
We inspire people of all ages to step forward, serve others, embrace new experiences, and make a meaningful difference in their communities. Every act of kindness begins with the courage to get involved.
Programs
Our courage is put into action through our charitable programs that serve children, support families, and make Halloween accessible to everyone in our community.
Creativity
Halloween inspires imagination unlike any other holiday. We celebrate creativity with Halloween as a powerful way to bring people together, express ourselves, and strengthen our community. Every day is Halloween!
Fifolet Halloween Festival
Our creativity shines through the Fifolet Halloween Festival, where annual themes, costumes, art, music, and storytelling transform Baton Rouge into Louisiana's Halloween destination.
10/31 Consortium is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to serving our community through the fun and creativity of Halloween traditions and folklore.
We believe that community events, such as Trick or Treat, help to strengthen neighborhoods. We believe that children can be our greatest models of courage. We believe that Halloween is a time of creativity, self-expression and imagination brought to life through vivid artistry.
1. It is our goal to revitalize the neighborhood tradition of Trick or Treat.
2. It is our goal to provide comfort and support to children when they must be their most courageous selves.
3. It is our goal to provide outlets for the community to express its Halloween creativity.
1. To assist and guide neighborhoods with Trick or Treat efforts by providing Halloween costumes, candy, and other resources.
2. To provide fun and encouraging Halloween gifts for hospitalized children.
3. To provide Halloween themed events for our members and the community.
The 10/31 Consortium Krewe is a kid-friendly Halloween parade krewe which hosts events for the entire family as well as events for adults only. Varying membership levels make membership accessible for anyone age 18+ who has a love of Halloween and a heart for children.
With origins starting in 2010, the Fifolet Halloween Festival is a treasure trove of Halloween celebration each fall in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Festival events include a Pub Crawl, Costume Ball, and Halloween Parade.
