How long has the Gretna Heritage Festival been around? The festival has been around for thirty years.
This fall the 2022 Gretna Heritage Festival will be along the Mississippi River in downtown Gretna celebrating its 26th edition. It is a three day event from October 7th – 9th and will feature big artists like John Fogerty, the Beach Boys, the Revivalists, country singer Brett Young and Irma Thomas.
The single-day pass will be just $20 which can be used on any of the three days. An all three day pass will cost $45 and will be free for children 12 and under. This will be the first year that the festival has happened since before COVID-19.
Along with live music, there will be the popular Italian Village which includes over 100 craft and clothing booths and dozens of food booths, Kid’s Corner which includes games and inflatables, Margarite Village and the craft beer section. The multi-block festival will be fun for the whole family.
