The difference between the 2 is that you're given access to the inside of the buildings with the guided tour. There's so much to learn about magnolia mound!! The video that you can watch is very informational. They tell you all about the building of the structures, the quarters and the craftsmanship that went into the erecting of these homes. The home is made of cypress mostly, and timber underneath. The building is raised up above the ground to allow due floods, storms, and so forth. It also helps to increase air flow throughout the home. I could probably go on for a while about what I've learned during g my short time here today. I enjoyed the gift shop: postcards, magnets, books, some light clothing items and other novelties. This plantation is not only beautiful, it's also so nicely managed and maintained. The folks working here are so sweet and so welcoming. This is a real gem.

This is by far my favorite parade in Baton Rouge, and in 15 years, I have only missed one due to a…read moremedical emergency. Held in Mid-City and the Garden District area, it is embraced by the residents in those neighborhoods. The fact that it is NOT held in downtown Baton Rouge is a HUGE draw - I stopped going downtown for most of the parades during Mardi Gras because there is no flavor to the route, and it doesn't feel like it's anything special. For the Wearin' of the Green, families along the route open their homes to friends and even strangers. While parking can be a bit difficult, I have always been able to find a spot no matter which area I planned to watch it in, or have only had to venture a block or two out of the way. I make it a point to plan ahead. Plan to arrive early to ensure you can find a spot. Don't plan on rolling in at 9:30 when the parade rolls at 10. And just plan to have a fun morning visiting with your fellow BR neighbors. For the past two years, we have hosted a float and ridden in the parade. That's been a very wonderful eye opening experience! I love seeing friends and family out in the crowd, and it's fun to watch the lawns full of people. You see a true representation of this amazing city, and just about everyone is polite, enthusiastic, and thankful for the throws we spend our own money on. Some logistics - if you have small kids or aren't into the crowd scene, plan to watch it toward the beginning of the route. As it rolls down Terrace, there is so much open space in the median area. If you area more adventurous, setup alongside City Park on Perkins. And if you're looking for a true, crazy, wild parade experience, head to the Perkins Road Overpass and join the restaurants and bars for some good fun in the crowds. Rain or shine, the Wearin' of the Green parade is a MUST DO! I look forward to throwing you all some amazing stuff again next year!

Did you know Louisiana loves parades? I have never been to so many parades in my life. Growing up,…read moreI think the only parade I went to was 4th of July and that was a big deal... EVERY YEAR! As you can imagine, it's a party for almost every holiday here. So, I consider my daughter lucky for getting to spend most of her pre-teen life here in Louisiana where parades happen left and right. You think Mardi Gras parades are extravagant, well this one is right up there with those. Floats are big, beads are abundant and just as many hands are up in the air ready to catch whatever is thrown at them. This time, it's not the bight purple, gold and pink colors you see. This time it's a sea of green: beads, cups, shirts and even beards. The parade is not too far from where I live and it can get crazy. If you're a visitor and you think you'll be here for it, definitely worth it. The aftermath of the parade is definitely a sight, too. Parade route travels through the Garden District and on Perkins/Acadian area. Any of the plazas in that area become party central. It is definitely a family-friendly parade, so don't miss out and get your spots early.
