The Muffuletta Festival returns for its second year
celebrating Italian-American culture and heritage on Sunday October 7, 2018 at Nor-Joe Imports
in Metairie (505 Frisco Ave. Metairie, LA 70005). This year’s festival, taking place from 10am-
8pm, will feature the unique muffuletta sandwich and many other Italian-American delicacies,
plus music, and food demonstrations.
In response to the amazing turnout at last year’s inaugural event this year Muffuletta Festival will
have a larger stage and expanded footprint. Musical performances throughout the day include
Benny Grunch and the Bunch, classical vocalist ensemble Bon Operatit!, Mia Kylie Ditta,
and Swingaroux with special guest Spencer Racca.
Sandwiches and many other Italian-American specialties will be available from vendors such as
Nor-Joe Imports, Mahoney’s and Goodfellas Seafood & Po-boys as well as sweet treats from
Ravasio’s Italian Ice, and City Gelato. More art and retail vendors will be on site this year
including Kabuki Design Studio, Shaun Aleman, Red Hill Bee Farm and Lizano’s Glass
Haus.
