Holiday Shopping in Baton Rouge
Giving is one of the best parts about the holidays, and in Baton Rouge, you'll always be able to find the perfect gift for that special someone. Baton Rouge has indoor and outdoor mall options where you can pick up everything on your list, or specialty boutiques and stores for particular interests and hobbies. We also encourage visitors and locals to shop at many locally-owned businesses, as well as makers' markets featuring locally handmade goods. The Capital City has several annual holiday markets where shoppers can peruse local artisans' and entrepreneurs' pop-up-style shops for one-of-a-kind, thoughtful gifts.
HOLIDAY MARKETS
WHITE LIGHT NIGHT
Every fall, the annual White Light Night takes over the Mid-City Art and Cultural District along Government Street. As the largest arts festival in Mid-City, White Light Night allows local businesses, makers and musicians to come together with Baton Rouge natives and tourists alike for one exciting night! Beautifully strung lights and live music from local musicians will guide you down Government Street as you stop to browse and shop the works of local artists. You’ll also want to pick up a drink or a bite to eat from one of the many restaurants and food vendors along the route. For more event information and a list of participating businesses, visit Mid-City Merchants website.
