Guide to new years eve in Baton Rouge. Red Stick Revelry, fireworks and live music for NYE 2023-2024
Baton Rouge sees in the new year once again with some Red Stick Revelry, a big public event providing a very particular spin on the tradition of the new years eve ball drop.
Baton Rouge, as I'm sure you already know, translates from the French to red stick, which gives something of a spoiler to the main new year event - see below for more details!
Baton Rouge is actually the capital city of the state of Louisiana althoguh many people assume that to be the larger New Orleans, which of course holds it's own unique new year celebrations each year too - see our New Orleans page for full details.
Red Stick Revelry
The big party in Baton Rouge for new years eve is called Red Stick Revelry. This event only started in 2013 so is a relatively recent addition to the calendar, but it has proven a big success and continues to grow in popularity, attracting crowds in the tens of thousands to the downtown area.
The evening includes live music and entertainment, with a focus on local acts, while the climax of the party comes at midnight, when a 9 foot long LED red stick is dropped from above the Beacon in Town Square.
The red stick drop is accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display centred over the Mississippi River.
The event includes entertainment throughout the day, with kid friendly events in the town square starting from 11am.
