The Old Mandeville Business Association (OMBA) will kick off the fall cultural season in Old Mandeville on Saturday, October 16 (Rain Date: Oct. 17) at the Girod Street Stroll, presented by Resource Bank.
This was postponed from the original date of Sept. 25 due to ongoing cleanup and recovery efforts following Hurricane Ida.
This popular annual event, which is typically hosted in the spring but was postponed due to COVID restrictions, will take place from 5 to 9PM on Girod Street from the Mandeville Trailhead to the Lakefront.
Patrons will enjoy more than 20 stroll stops featuring light tasting plates by top local chefs, or classic cocktails like Mint Julep, French 75, and Old Fashioned. Each cocktail stop will put their own creative spin on these New Orleans favorites.
The event will also feature a number of local art vendors selling their original work, and live musical entertainment by 10th Street Brass and several artists from the Ozone Songwriters Festival.
Patrons must purchase a commemorative stroll cup online ($40), which is their ticket to sample all food and beverages at the event. A limited number of tickets are available. Tickets can be purchased online at www.oldmandevillebiz.com, and cups can be picked up at the corner of Girod and Monroe Streets (near The Rusty Pelican) beginning at 3:30PM on the day of the event.
All patrons must show their photo ID and e-ticket or printed ticket to pick up their cup.
Participants must be at least 21 to participate, and no patron can pick up another patron’s stroll cup.
