First Free Sunday: Culture without the Cost

Art Isn’t a Luxury. It’s for Everyone.

And on First Free Sunday, so is admission.

Once a month, Baton Rouge invites you to explore its cultural heartbeat — completely free of charge.

On the first Sunday of every month, the Cary Saurage Community Arts Center and several of the city’s most beloved museums offer free admission from 12–4 PM. It’s not just an event — it’s a movement to make the arts and culture more accessible to everyone who calls this city home.

This is your chance to:

• Stroll through local galleries

• Spark your child’s curiosity

• Rediscover a piece of history

• Be inspired by the creativity around you

Participating venues include:

• Cary Saurage Community Arts Center

• LSU Museum of Art

• Louisiana Art & Science Museum

• Capitol Park Museum

• Louisiana’s Old Governor’s Mansion

• Louisiana’s Old State Capitol

• Knock Knock Children’s Museum

• LSU Rural Life Museum

• Films at Manship

And the best part? Many of these locations are just steps from each other, making it easy to spend the afternoon walking, learning, and connecting with the culture that defines Baton Rouge.

Perfect for families, art lovers, and anyone curious about the creative soul of our city.

No tickets. No pressure. Just show up and see what moves you.
