Oak Street Po-Boy Festival

The New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival became an instant hit ten years ago when the folks along Oak Street realized that this local dietary icon had somehow been denied its rightful recognition of a day in its honor. So the festival was founded as a celebration of the storied sandwich and the role it has played in New Orleans’ culinary culture.

This event attracts some of the best restaurants, artists and musicians in the city. And since nothing goes better with a po-boy then a cold beer, this year’s event will also showcase regional craft breweries as part of the inaugural Po Boy & Pint Fest.

More than forty different food vendors serve their own take on the tasty classic while local bands provide the soundtrack. This year the fest also welcomes the return of the Where Y'Arts Marketl Follow your nose to the Carrollton and Oak intersection, which is accessible by streetcar. 10 am–6 pm. poboyfest.com.
