Fair Grounds Race Course
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 with sportsbook; a thoroughbred horse race track; and 15 off-track betting parlors that offer video poker and HHR games throughout southeast Louisiana. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has taken place at the Fair Grounds Race Course since 1972.
