Independence Day is right around the corner and now is the time to make plans to attend the many downtown events!

USS KIDD's 4th of July Spectacular
The USS KIDD's 4th of July Spectacular is the place to be as friends and families gather to commemorate our nation's independence while enjoying ice cold drinks, delicious food, a variety of musical performances, and WBRZ's annual Fireworks on the Mississippi. Start getting your red, white and blue ready to shine, and join the KIDD Crew for this re-energized community event taking place on Tuesday, July 4th, from 4PM-10PM. The festivities will be located on the Riverfront Levee Stage, located between the USS KIDD Veterans Museum and Riverfront Plaza.

New this year is the Patriotic Popsicle Parade on the Mississippi River Levee that concludes at the USS KIDD museum where they will be serving over 500 red, white and blue popsicles! (Starting at Florida St Levee Access at 4:45PM)

In addition: BREC on the Geaux will once again be hosting the Kids Zone along with Babin's House of Party. There will be face painting, pie baking contest, hotdog eating contest, live music by Chubby Carrier, and much more. Tickets to view the fireworks aboard the KIDD are now on sale!
