For its 25th annual celebration of all things sweet, the West Baton Rouge Museum is hosting two days of streamed interviews, performances, and demonstrations with Louisiana folk artists and musicians, recipes, and a vibrant exploration of Louisiana's sugar industry from the comfort of home.

While organizers regret being unable to celebrate in person this year, they point to the silver lining that is the rare opportunity to pause and archive the works of local folk artists carrying on the traditions of our sugarcane history, as well as the musicians who continue to play genres indigenous to Louisiana. 

A full schedule of events will be announced in the coming weeks at westbatonrougemuseum.org.
