Here in Baton Rouge, we start the year off with a bang! As soon as January rolls around, we start to get ready for Mardi Gras. If you have ever been to Mardi Gras, then you know what an exciting time it is. If you have yet to experience it, you must put it on your "to do" list. Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge usually consist of about seven parades. This is where everyone gets together, lines up on the streets and screams, "Throw me something, mister!". Beads, cups, and candy fly through the air during Mardi Gras. It seems to be a tradition to see who can catch the most beads. It's good times had by all. So, be sure to get your king cake and load up on beads during the Mardi Gras season.  

After having a blast at Mardi Gras, we welcome March and St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day might be just any other day to you but here in Baton Rouge, we take it seriously. As if we didn't enough at Mardi Gras we lined up on the streets again for another fantastic parade....St. Patrick's Day parade. The parade starts on March 15, 2008. It begins at the corner of Hundred Oaks and South Acadian thruway. Get ready for a big parade. Being sure to bring your lawn chairs and don't forget to wear green! Ouch!

 Okay, so Baton Rouge will give you a little break in June and let you head on down to Gonzales for the Swamp Pop Music Festival in July. Gonzales is twenty minutes from Baton rouge, but well worth the drive. The Swamp Pop Festival is a awesome festival that includes music such as; cajun, blues and zydeco.
