This may not be a big deal to you, but @225fest just won The Advocate’s Best of Baton Rouge in the Annual Events & Festivals category.
Thank you to every sponsor, partner, vendor, team member, and volunteer who has helped us celebrate culture in the Capital Region for #225Day over the past four years. We’re already looking ahead to Year 5 in February 2027.
Thank you Baton Rouge for helping us write a love letter to our city with over 37,000+ attendees! #225FEST year 4 was a huge success because of every sponsor, partner, staff member, entertainer, artist, vendor, volunteer, city worker and law enforcement officer who came together to make this vision a reality.
Four years of vision.
Four years of consistency.
Four years of impact.
@225fest is more than an event it’s proof of what happens when faith meets execution.
@themyrarichardson I honor your courage to dream out loud and your discipline to make it happen year after year. What you’ve built is powerful.
I’m grateful to serve you and stand beside you as you continue to create spaces for our city to gather, grow, and celebrate.
Keep blooming. 🌸
