Most Red Stick Revelry events are being cancelled due to expected heavy rain in the Baton Rouge area, but the Red Stick will still drop at midnight in Town Square downtown. Downtown Baton Rouge will 'party on' as planned with many restaurants and venues holding events!

The Red Stick Revelry concert tonight featuring popular bands Bread Pudd'n and Phat Hat has been cancelled and the fireworks show at midnight is also cancelled. However, the Red Stick will stop drop at midnight with traditional NYE music in the North Boulevard Town Square. Through the day and evening the Town Square Media Becaon will be programmed to show movies and special events.

Red Stick Revelry was created to make Baton Rouge a destination for New Year's Eve and all those planning to attend are encouraged to make plans to have dinner or enjoy entertainment downtown and see the Red Stick drop at midnight, kicking off the Baton Rouge Bicentennial Year.

Decisions to cancel events were made in consultation with local meteorologists, Baton Rouge Police and City-Parish officials based first on public safety and on the safety of sound and fireworks equipment needed to be constructed in place most of the day to hold the events.

Happy New Year!
