ebb and flow 2020
Set against the backdrop of the country's most magnificent waterway—if we do say so ourselves—Baton Rouge's Ebb & Flow Festival, presented by the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, seeks to reinvigorate the city's cultural relationship with the Mississippi. Headliners this year include Rockin Dopsie, Jr., Justin Garner, and Parish County Line. The festival winds its way along the Mississippi River front in downtown Baton Rouge, incorporating the Louisiana Art and Science Museum and LSU Museum of Art, traveling along Poet's Pier, the heART trail, past the Art Battles and through Artist's Isle. Repentance Park will host the Blue Cross Blue Shield Kid's Coast, where kids can give a whirl at GymFitBR's Ninja Warrior Course, play on Knock Knock's Imagination Playground, or take advantage of the library's two bookmobiles. Plus lots more! And we haven't even gotten to the stages yet—the Idea Stage will showcase innovative offerings from Baton Rouge entrepreneurs and the Crest Stage at Galvez Plaza will host performances from the festival's world-class lineup.
In addition, through a new partnership with Forum 35, the Ebb & Flow Festival will continue its juried show, Art Flow. Temporary art installations will be displayed in participating venues around downtown during the festival, over the course of six weeks, the public will be able to vote on their favorites. Free. 10 am 'til. ebbandflowbr.org.
