| JULY 4TH SUCCESS! |
| 32K ATTENDEES |
| |
| |
Downtown welcomed 32,000 visitors on the Fourth of July to experience the patriotic festivities and the spectacular WBRZ Fireworks on the Mississippi River. A special thanks to Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and Visit Baton Rouge for sponsoring the inaugural Red, White, and Blues concert. Families enjoyed free music and fireworks, light-up bicycle rides under the fireworks with Geaux Ride, and stunning rooftop views at Tsunami and the Hilton. We're already excited for next year's Fourth of July celebration and can't wait to make more unforgettable memories Downtown!

Craving something cold and sweet to beat the heat? Downtown has plenty of options!
Follow the Get Ya Ice Cream Truck downtown and pick your favorite treat with easy debit and credit card payments. Stop by Matherne's for ice cream, snowballs, and popsicles straight from the freezer shelves to take back to your office or home. Every Saturday, savor the sweet gelato from City Gelato at the Red Stick Farmer's Market. For a classic treat, cruise to the drive-thru at Sonic or Frostop's for a rootbeer float or sundae. Not into dairy? No problem! Downtown offers a variety of refreshing options like smoothies from Smoothie King or Belli, or a frozen lemonade or velvet ice from PJ's Coffee.
Don't miss out on these delicious, cooling treats!
