Let the good times roll! South Louisiana is gearing up for the 2025 Mardi Gras season and there are several parades and parties that will roll through the streets of Baton Rouge and surrounding areas in celebration.

Catch beads and fun throws at Mardi Gras parades in the Baton Rouge area. This year, Fat Tuesday falls on March 4. In early February, local krewes will have decorative and themed floats rolling in parades.

Varsity Sports founder and owner Jenni Peters is reimagining the grassroots plan she launched last year to align with what she believes is a new vision for the city. Envision Baton Rouge is a collaborative initiative where locals can share ideas and visions for improving the city’s parks and walking paths.
