The Big Easy, LA —DomCon New Orleans, the professional and lifestyle Domination convention, has confirmed the Official DomCon Second Line Parade as well as special guests of honor.

The parade has been an ongoing DomCon tradition honoring departed peers the BDSM community has lost. While a celebration of the scene, the parade also raises awareness regarding professional Dominants and sex workers.

“Dear BDSM Community,” tweeted parade sponsor, Simone Justice. “Honor those of us who’ve passed this year. Send me their name and photo for a memorial poster to be carried through the New Orleans French Quarter… Honor those we’ve lost, while living life to the fullest… in high style!”

The second line parade marches on Friday, October 28 and will be led by the parade queen, who is announced and crowned during DomCon NOLA opening ceremonies, as a recognition of their contributions to the leather community each year. Participants meet in front of the hotel entrance at 7:15 PM before the event begins.

“Like New Orleans, the BDSM community is rich with tradition,” stated DomCon Founder, Mistress Cyan. “Our parade mourns the loss of BDSM community members, by proudly marching together with those who are still with us.”

Guests of honor for DomCon NOLA 2022 are Empress Jazmin Wu of Florida, Lady Vi from Arizona, Mistress Jade Thunderstorm of New Orleans, along with Mz Emily and Mistress Jackie of Illinois.

“I am so excited!” Tweeted Mistress Jade Thunderstorm. “I cannot wait to exchange ideas, learn and party with everyone who is headed this way!”

Sponsors for DomCon include Hustler Hollywood, Bad Dragon, JustFor.Fans, Torture Garden, Goddess Phoenix, and LaurenPhillips.com. The exposition will be October 27-30, 2022 at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, 739 Canal Street, in the historic French Quarter. Online registration for DomCon New Orleans closes on October 25th.
