If discovering talent before everybody else does is your thing, then you should make a habit of regularly checking out what's happening at the Claude L. Shaver Theatre and Dramatic Arts Building. The majority of the actors, actresses and crew are LSU students, and they bring together their talents on several productions throughout the year. The comfortably intimate entertainment venue holds 445 people, so make sure you get your tickets early for the next scheduled performance.

It doesn't matter if you're in from out of town or live in Baton Rouge with your sweetheart, a nice getaway is only as far away as the Stockade Bed and Breakfast. The charming ambiance and scenic location make it the perfect destination. If your respective schedules make it difficult for the two of you to coordinate a vacation, or if your budget requires you two to take a "stay-cation" this year, a night or two at the Stockade Bed and Breakfast is the perfect romantic detour.

Since 1987, the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair has been creating lots of fun for area families to experience while helping out a great cause. The volunteer staff puts together this festival every year and the funds raised from the rides, food and admission go to help youth-oriented causes in the greater Baton Rouge area. It happens every year at the State Fair Grounds and for 11 days, the celebration is all about food, music, games, shows and giving back to the community of Baton Rouge.
