Oak Street Po-Boy Festival in New Orleans
The Oak Street Po-Boy Festival is an annual street festival held on Oak Street in the Carrollton neighborhood of uptown New Orleans, celebrating the city's signature po-boy sandwich with restaurant vendors, live music, and local art. Comprehensive current-year details on date and full vendor lineup could not be fully confirmed through available research.
The po-boy is one of New Orleans's defining culinary inventions, a sandwich built on distinctively light, crisp-crusted French bread and piled with fillings ranging from fried shrimp and oysters to roast beef smothered in its own gravy, known locally as debris.
