BATON ROUGE — Baton Rouge General's holiday lights display returns to Bluebonnet Boulevard for its eighth year on Saturday.

Starting Saturday and continuing through Dec. 31, the Holiday Lights at Baton Rouge General powered by Entergy will light up each night starting at 5:30 p.m. The walk-through display will feature three large attractions — an ornament, present, and Santa hat — as well as singing trees, a trio of large light trees and 24-foot light tunnels.

Meghan Parrish a spokesperson for Baton Rouge General says the lights have become a staple in the community. 

"It's grown to become such a great tradition around the holidays in Baton Rouge we have families who come every year we have people who get engaged every year," Parrish said. 

Parish said that not only visitors get to enjoy the show, but even those in the hospital.

"We hear a lot of times from patients in the hospital around Christmas time, just being able to look out their windows and see the celebration of the holidays."

On Dec. 5 and 12, Baton Rouge General will also host the ticketed "Snow & Glow" event where kids can get pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, as well as play in real snow and enjoy on-site food from local food trucks. Tickets for the event, costing $5, go on sale on Saturday.

The lightshow will be at Baton Rouge General's Bluebonnet location along Picardy Avenue. Click here for more information.
