Messina’s Catering & Events is thrilled to expand our footprint at the Fair Grounds Race Course for the 2025–2026 racing season. Beginning this fall, Messina’s will operate the coveted 4th Floor Club House, elevating the daily racing experience with chef-driven food and beverage offerings and the warm, attentive service our guests know and love.

Open since 1872, Fair Grounds is the nation’s third-oldest operating racetrack and a beloved New Orleans tradition. With live racing from November 2025 through March 2026, the Club House will offer a welcoming, upgraded setting for fans and families to gather, dine, and enjoy a day at the track.

In addition to the Club House, Messina’s will continue to cater private events throughout the property—including the Black Gold Room and other private suites—bringing our full-service expertise to celebrations of every size.
