Guide the family through a history-packed trip at the Magnolia Mound Plantation. This attraction is also filled with so much drama and adventure that the kids won't even realize that they are in the process of learning about Baton Rouge's rich history. The structure traces the cultural contribution of the French Creoles and how their language, history and even cooking has become a vital part of the flavor of Baton Rouge in more ways than one. Also, there is a historic museum store and parlor that feature educational items for sale like books, jewelry, and other unique gifts.

The Independence Park Theatre strives for the freedom of self expression, and judging from the very packed list of events, they seem to be reaching that goal quite often. Concerts, plays, musicals, dance recitals, pageants, lectures, graduations, seminars, workshops and conferences have all taken place at this all-purpose entertainment venue since it opened its doors in 2001. Also, within its walls is where the Louisiana Art and Artists' Guild makes its home, and there, the tradition of self expression continues as you will find several exhibits throughout the year.

Baton Rouge Blues Week is usually held every May and features some of the best local, regional and national blues musicians who all convene to pay homage to this highly regarded music genre that was born in this part of the world. The blues festival takes place in Repentance Park in downtown Baton Rouge, and its central location makes it easy to enjoy not only the music but convenient access to restaurants and lodging. So getting a case of the blues is actually a really good thing when it's Baton Rouge Blues Week!
