Flower Fest

Nestled off of the Mississippi River, the tiny community of Pointe-Marie in Baton Rouge will spend the first weekend of April decked out in a wildly colorful collaboration between human artistry and nature’s impeccable touch. For the third annual Flower Fest, groups of floral professionals will compete to showcase their abilities, vision, and execution. All in the name of flora, local chefs, musicians, artisans, and locals will come together to indulge in a lush vision of creative community.

Day tickets are $20/day; Saturday’s gala ticket is $125. Details at theflowerfest.com.
