Oak Street Po-Boy Festival
Po-boy Festival Oak Street, New Orleans, Louisiana
The Oak Street Po-Boy Festival became an instant hit 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. More than forty different food vendors serve their own take on the tasty classic while local bands provide the soundtrack. Follow your nose to the Carrollton and Oak intersection, which is accessible by streetcar. 10 am–6 pm. poboyfest.com.
