St. Patrick’s Day in Baton Rouge has always been more than just a parade. For years, the post parade gathering at Uncle Earl's became a tradition people genuinely looked forward to. It was where the city kept the celebration going long after the floats passed.

While Uncle Earl’s may no longer be part of the landscape, the tradition itself is not going anywhere. This year, the party continues at the Colonel’s Club under the Perkins Road overpass at 2857 Perkins Road, and it is keeping that same local energy Baton Rouge shows up for every March.

Gates open at 9 AM, giving parade goers a place to land and settle in for the day. The first band is expected to begin around 2:30 PM, though timing may shift slightly depending on when the parade wraps up. Either way, once the music starts, it will carry the celebration straight through the afternoon.

The live lineup features KG and The Bad Habits, Connor Martin, Parish County Line, and Baton Rouge’s own Lil Boosie. It is a mix that reflects the city itself. A little country, a little rock, a little hometown hip hop, and a whole lot of crowd energy.

This event is rain or shine and 18 and up, making it a true all afternoon gathering spot for friends who want to keep the St. Patrick’s Day momentum going. It is also a reminder of how Baton Rouge supports its own. Local artists. Local vendors. Local people showing up for a tradition that has evolved but not disappeared.

For those looking to upgrade their experience, the Colonel’s Club VIP offers exclusive access to a private area, air conditioned restrooms, front of stage pit access, complimentary bites served throughout the day, and a dedicated lounge space to relax between sets. Parking passes are also available from 8 AM to 10 PM and are located just steps from the main entrance for easy access.

One important note. This event is under the Perkins Road overpass and not at Texas Club.

St. Patrick’s Day in Baton Rouge has always been about showing up, seeing familiar faces, and supporting the local scene. The address may be different this year, but the reason people look forward to it every year remains the same.
