A Winning Experience at the New Orleans Fairgrounds
The New Orleans Fair Grounds Race Course has been a part of the cultural of New Orleans since 1872. As the third oldest continuously operating thoroughbred racetrack in the U.S., it has been the setting for racing history. It is also a well-loved location for social occasions, including the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Something less well known is that the Fair Grounds can cater corporate and private events, large and small. The space works just as well for a party for 700 as for 40, from The Clubhouse dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows to the 1872 Room, with access to the historic saddling ring and track rail. The food and beverage options match the best in the city for an experience to remember.
