For another great year, the Mid City Merchants Association will bring to Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas one of its biggest events, the White Light Night Art Hop. Year after year, starting in 1998, thousands of people from in and outside of Baton Rouge have jammed participating Mid City businesses to see the latest in art trends, meet the artists and help start the holiday season.

The lights of Mid City will sparkle this year on Friday, November 16, 2007 from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. The public is invited to view and purchase art on display in over 25 participating businesses as well as experience an evening of shopping and camaraderie along Government Street from South 14th to Jefferson Highway and from Claycut to Florida Boulevard . Refreshments will be served at each participating location.

Hop a ride on one of the shuttle vans or the trolleys, car pool with friends or stroll down Government from one great art opening to another while enjoying the lights and the excitement of this crisp fall evening. Get a jump on holiday shopping!
