What's New for the 2012 Oak Street Po-Boy Festival in New Orleans

We have heard your feedback!

More room to walk around

We've moved the music stages onto the side streets this year. Oak Street will be wide open from Carrollton all the way to Eagle. Plan on stretching out and exploring our vast 8-block expanse of food booths, beverage centers, and shops!

Improved VIP area

We've streamlined down to one VIP area that includes parking within walking distance of the festival, covered seating, and an open bar featuring Abita Beer, plus a selection of spirits and non-alcoholic drinks, and light snacks. There will be two raffles (winner need not be present) and some sweet lagniappes (give-aways) exclusive to the VIP area. Treat yourself, support the festival, and be a VIP for the day!

Football on Oak

The Saints kick off at 3pm. We'll have four 50" plasma TVs showing football games all day in our spacious dining area thanks to Big Easy Event Rentals. Our exclusive tented VIP area with open bar will also have a big TV so you won't have to miss a single play.

Additional bike corral

A new bike corral has been added to last year's bringing the total up to two: Whitney Bank (Carrollton and Plum St.) and Fidelity (Carrollton and Oak St.). Thanks to Bike Easy!

Cozy dining space

Parkway Bakery is the official sponsor of the eating/beverage area located in the Castellon Pharmacy parking lot on Dante at Oak St. Deluxe restrooms, high-top tables. Abita Beer. Abita Root Beer and other non-alcoholic beverages. Step off Oak Street, relax, enjoy your food! Catch the Saints game on four 50" plasma TV's set in a mobile sports bar.
