JOIN IN ON THE RED DRESS RUN FUN ON AUGUST 12, 2023 IN NEW ORLEANS
The Red Dress Run in New Orleans is an annual charity event in the city’s heart. It takes place on August 12 this year and is expected to host thousands of participants, most wearing vibrant red dresses.
The History of the Red Dress Run
San Diego, California, was the original site of the first Red Dress Run, with the event gaining a lot of popularity ever since. New Orleans adopted the tradition, which has become a staple in the community. It started as a fundraiser for local charities and nonprofit organizations in the area. The purpose of wearing red dresses is to show a fun way to symbolize the unity within the communities that raise money for charity.
Details on this Year’s Red Dress Run
Armstrong Park of New Orleans is the center of the Red Dress Run this year. All participants will gather here at the start of the event. From there, the run will span about three miles through some of the city’s nicest neighborhoods, famous sites, and incredible views.
There will be many rest stops along the way for all to enjoy, including refreshments. Not only will they provide refreshments, but entertainment will also be present, ensuring that all participants will experience a fun time. Whether someone runs, walks, parties, or watches from the sidelines to cheer on friends, Red Dress Run 2023 will bring the heat.
Dressing and Impressing at the Red Dress Run
The red dresses at Red Dress Run are sometimes more fun to witness than participating in the actual run. Some of these dresses are unbelievably extravagant and handcrafted for the occasion. Men, women, and children of all ages appear in various styles and designs to help the community.
How to Participate at the Red Dress Run
To participate in New Orleans’ Red Dress Run, head to their website and go through the registration process. As with any event in the Crescent City, everyone should register quickly to ensure accommodations. Participants in the actual run must be 21 or older, but underage people are still encouraged to watch from the sidelines. Of course, the event is in August, so pack sunscreen and water to ensure safety. Lastly, do not forget to bring the best red dress and get ready for fun.
