The milestone 100th Louisiana Derby on March 30 is poised to be the biggest in track history with the creation of Infield Festival, a new entertainment experience at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots to be headlined by native New Orleans rockers Cowboy Mouth. Details of the Infield Festival, which will also feature the largest food truck gathering in the city and exclusive VIP areas, were announced Tuesday by Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots officials at a press conference in the Winner’s Circle.
To access the infield without causing undue wear on the main track and turf course, fans will cross over a series of temporary bridges that will roll on and off the track between races. The ramps are on loan from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, where they are used to move tens of thousands into the infield on Preakness Day.
