DOWNTOWN WHAT'S NEW DOWNTOWN
Mayor Holden extends Live After 5 from 12 to 16 concerts
Prior to Fall 2006, Live After Five consisted of six concerts in the spring and six in the fall. Mayor Holden decided that six per season was simply not enough so he added an extra concert in the fall of 2006 and then there were seven.
Excited by the success of the outdoor concert series, the Mayor took it one step further and decided that the series should be extended by two concerts each season. So, in 2008 the City of Baton Rouge and the office of the Mayor-President have supported the addition of four more concerts per year. Now there will be eight concerts in the spring and eight in the fall bringing the total to 16 concerts!
