Santa in the Senate

Kick off the holiday season inside Louisiana's most magical castle! On Friday, December 5 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., Santa himself will make a special stop at the Old State Capitol for an evening full of cheer.

Families can snap their own photos with Santa beneath the glowing stained glass, while little ones enjoy hands-on holiday crafts and a cozy Christmas movie on the big screen in the historic House chamber.

Admission is free, and the whole evening is designed to feel like a storybook Christmas brought to life. Bring your camera, bring the kids, and make unforgettable holiday memories in Baton Rouge's castle on the river.
