Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, the nation's third-oldest racetrack, has been in operation since 1872. Located in New Orleans, Fair Grounds operates a slot-machine gaming facility and 13 off-track betting parlors throughout southeast Louisiana.
Do you love horse races?!! If you visit during Thanksgiving then you MUST go to the Fair Grounds. Dress your best and see how the locals do Thanksgiving. (You won't be disappointed)
Home to the famed Jazz and Heritage Festival annually! Also, it's a New Orleans tradition for locals to come here, bet on the horses, and wear fancy hats on thanksgiving day!
