Welcome to Baton Rouge…where the weather is always warm, the food is always spicy and the people are always ready for a good time! There’s never been a better time to visit Baton Rouge. In 2012, the state of Louisiana will celebrate its 200th anniversary with exciting events and festivities. 

Enjoy free live music concerts at Live After Five and Sunday in the Park Spring Concerts downtown. Also, check out our great festivals, including the Zapp’s International Beer Festival, Fest For All, Baton Rouge Blues Festival and Bayou Country Superfest.

If you enjoy the thrill of gaming, you won’t want to miss our riverboat casinos. Both the Hollywood Casino and the Belle of Baton Rouge offer exciting gaming, live music and great buffets!  If nightlife and live music are what you’re looking for, be sure to walk down Third Street on Friday and Saturday nights. Check out Boudreaux & Thibodeaux’s for a fun Cajun atmosphere or the Roux House for great bands! If you like to stay outdoors, play a round of golf at The Island or City Park Golf Course, or visit one of BREC’s beautiful parks.
