Made world famous by the Central Grocery in New Orleans, the Muffuletta sandwich is an extravaganza of flavor! A sesame studded Italian loaf is filled with Capicola, Mortadella, Salami, Provolone, and Mozzarella, layered with Olive Relish and Giardiniera. We're serving up this bad boy with Creole Potato Salad. The Bobcat Room will be running a special cocktail menu to compliment Val’s southern artistry.

5PM OPENING ON FRIDAY
CAVU CELLARS

2025 will be the 13th year of ArtWalla’s fundraising event, ArtSquared! Each year they have artists from across the country (and quite a few from Waitsburg) create 6X6” pieces of art to be sold at $36 a piece.

As any attendee can tell you, opening night is exciting with a general frenzy of art acquisition as art lovers dash to grab the work of their favorite artists. If you prefer a more genteel approach, the sale continues throughout the weekend, and the racks are refreshed with new pieces by the same artists as art is sold. Regardless of your approach, the squares are a wonderful way to build an affordable collection and support both your favorite artists and the ArtWalla organization.

ArtWalla uses ArtSquared to fund their grant programs helping local artists and arts organizations spread art within our community.
