It’s officially fall, but it’s not too late to plan your 2025 fall family travel. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the perfect dupe city for families who have seen everything in New Orleans and are still eager for something new in the state. The destination offers perfect October fall weather, Halloween fun with a Cajun twist and much more.
Every October, the city transforms into a spooky season hub, with Fifolet Halloween Festival as the shining star. This multiday festival blends family fun with the traditional flavors, music and mystique of the Cajun culture. Fifolet gets its name from the ghostly lights that supposedly hover over the Louisiana swamps. Experience the best of unique Baton Rouge all in one with an equal parts spooky and soulful festival.
This one-of-a-kind Halloween festival takes place Oct. 16–19, and features costume balls, haunted pub crawls, a Halloween parade, arts market, gumbo cookoff and trick-or-treating, all within the walkable downtown. Whether traveling as a family or looking for a getaway with friends, Fifolet offers the best of both worlds. Get in the spirit, dress up in your best Halloween costume and celebrate the spooky season.
