Macy's 150th anniversary festivities will be marked with the grand opening of two new stores in the New Orleans market on Oct. 24, with hosts Martha Stewart and Emeril Lagasse holding a New Orleans-style cooking demonstration, Promo Magazine reports. Macy's Lakeside Shopping Center and Macy's at The Esplanade will open with cocktail galas to benefit the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts.

The event will also include a VIP reception, a meet-and-greet with celebrities including Tommy Hilfiger, Steve Madden, Russell Simmons, Clinton Kelly and Gavin DeGraw, and a fashion show.

On Oct. 25, customers can visit their local Macy's store to see local celebrities, grab some treats, win free gift cards via giveaways and earn special discounts. Then on Oct, 28, the official birthday, a cocktail reception will take place at Gothman Hall, just blocks away from Macy's Herald Square flagship store in Manhattan. The event will include food, live entertainment and a special finale to mark the occasion.
