For the third consecutive year, Messina’s Catering & Events proudly continued a 100-year-old New Orleans Thanksgiving tradition by catering the Annual Club House Buffet at The Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots. The 100th Annual Thanksgiving Classic, held on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 28, 2024), marks the official start of the racing season and holiday festivities, bringing racegoers together in their finest attire—hats and fascinators included—for a day of horse racing, cocktails, and celebration.
Guests indulged in a lavish Thanksgiving buffet featuring holiday classics like Roasted Turkey with Cornbread Dressing and Prime Rib, all expertly prepared by Messina’s Catering & Events.
