A free outdoor concert series makes its debut downtown this month, and this one is brought to you by 225 magazine.
Sunday in the Park is a Sunday brunch concert series just outside the Shaw Center for the Arts. Blues, jazz, gospel and bluegrass bands will perform for four consecutive Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning April 15.
You can have brunch or lunch at Capital City Grill, Subway, PJ’s Coffee, Capital Creamery and Café, Sullivan’s satellite grill, or the Hilton Capitol Center. Or, pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic as the band plays. Lafayette Street will be closed to traffic for the concerts, so the area will be available to set up lawn chairs and picnic blankets.
Partners include the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge Area Foundation, Capital City Grill, Downtown Development District, John Jackson, Mayor Kip Holden and the Shaw Center for the Arts.
