You can't visit Baton Rouge without climbing up the levee to see the Mighty Mississippi in all her glory. The river is the heart of our city, which is why the Mississippi River Levee is our attraction of the week! You can find businesses, plantations, museums, casinos, homes and a university nestled next to the river, and locals like to run, picnic and watch sunsets on the levee.
 


The Mississippi is beautiful at any time of the day, in any type of weather, but she is perhaps most glamorous, glitzy and glittery on July 4. Come join our community at 9 p.m. to see a brilliant fireworks show over the Mississippi's waters. We promise, you don't want to miss this.
