Best of 225 This Week: Art in the Park with dogs, makers market and more events in Baton Rouge this weekend

Start your weekend off right with this free yoga class

Spend your Saturday morning stretching and sweating at a free community yoga class at White Star Market. Bring a mat and a water for the hour-long class starting at 10 a.m. Hang out after the class for a late brunch or early lunch at one of White Star’s food vendors. Or grab a coffee from Rêve Coffee Lab to fuel up for your busy Saturday.

Spend your Saturday at the Mid City Makers Market

You may have noticed that Mid City Makers Market was missing from last weekend’s almost-rained-out Hot Art, Cool Nights event. But don’t worry—you haven’t missed your chance to check out local artists, makers and food vendors. The market is back on the calendar for this Saturday, May 18, 4-8 p.m.  Plus, this market will feature live music by Minos the Saint.
