Independence day Downtown

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 the
WBRZ's annual Fireworks on the Mississippi beginning at 9PM. Start getting your red, white and blue ready to shine, and join the KIDD Crew for this re-energized community event taking place on Wednesday July 4th, from 4PM-10PM. The festivities will be located on the Riverfront Levee Stage with live music performances by Curley Taylor and the Zydeco Trouble and SeraBee, located between the USS KIDD Veterans Museum and Riverfront Plaza. Recommended parking is in the River Center Parking Garages or the Third Street Garage.

In addition: BREC on the Geaux will once again be hosting the Kids Zone. There will be face painting, hotdog eating contest, watermelon seed-spitting contest and much more. The KIDD will be selling watermelon slices so that you can practice early for that seed spitting contest! For more information, please call (225) 342-1942.
