The last weekend of the year feels like it holds so much weight. Should you do something incredible? Should it be a lay-low weekend as you prep for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day? Maybe it will be a little bit of both. The capital city knows how to throw a party, and this is especially true when ringing in a new year. As 2025 approaches (quickly, we want to add), Baton Rouge is throwing some fun events this weekend. Join in on some comedy shows, live music, Shrek raves, and more.
