Holiday Lights at Baton Rouge General Features More Lights, Return of Popular Events

BATON ROUGE, La. – Starting November 19, Baton Rouge General (BRG) invites the community to visit Holiday Lights at Baton Rouge General powered by Entergy, a light display on BRG’s campus at the corner of Bluebonnet Boulevard and Picardy Avenue. The large greenspace in front of the hospital is transformed into a twinkling, singing and musically synchronized lights display for the community to enjoy. BRG is bringing back its most popular features including the large walk-through Christmas ornament and present, and will introduce a 20-foot walk-through Santa hat this year.

Visitors will also notice some new elements at Holiday Lights. For nearly 30 years, Jason Landry, a longtime resident of Ascension Parish, has decked his property out as a popular drive-by lights display. Now, locals can enjoy his personal collection featured throughout BRG’s Holiday Lights display, thanks to his family’s generous donation.

Holiday Lights at Baton Rouge General also features:

• 40-foot mega tree and two 25-foot trees synchronized to music
• Two 24-foot walk-through light tunnels
• Eight singing trees
• Giant Santa

Families can enjoy this holiday tradition through December 31. Lights go on at 5:30 p.m. nightly.
