BATON ROUGE TRICK-OR-TREATING TIMES | TRUNK-OR-TREAT

by

Baton Rouge has many Halloween events for family-friendly fun leading up to the big night.  Oct. 31st is just around the corner. One thing parents need to be aware of, especially parents who are new to Baton Rouge or new to having kids trick-or-treating, is that most areas have specific trick-or-treat hours.  And in many communities, they only get two “official” hours to trick or treat. 

Aside from the Baton Rouge area annual neighborhood trick-or-treating fun, there are many other trick-or-treat events happening around town. To help you make the most of this spooktacular season, we’ve provided a roundup of family-friendly Halloween events! We also have a Kids Eat Free on Halloween list here.

Enjoy this Halloween with your family and friends, Baton Rouge!

While every effort has been made to ensure this information is accurate, we encourage you to verify that all details are correct and have not changed. If you have information on a Trunk-or-Treat that we missed, please let us know!

LSU Gameday Lactation Spaces for Nursing Moms

by

Breastfeeding or breast pumping in public can be challenging due to a lack of proper facilities (I’ve personally had to breast pump and breastfeed in public bathrooms, and it is no fun). While breastfeeding laws exist, some mothers may feel uncomfortable nursing in public. By providing mothers with a freestanding lactation suite, they are offering women a safe, private and clean environment to breastfeed or use their breast pump. LSU Gameday lactation spaces provide nursing mothers with a quiet, clean space to breastfeed or pump before going back out to enjoy the game. There are three lactation spaces conveniently located on LSU campus – It would be awesome to get a few INSIDE Tiger Stadium too! 😉
