Parking
- If you are chartering your bus through Hotard/Calco, then your bus driver will be aware of the parking situation! Bus Parking:
- River Road Public Parking: Along River Road and the Mississippi River, there is a public parking lot that can fit approximately 15 buses. This lot is only a block from the Capitol, and therefore is near the end of the march. We encourage buses parking in this lot to drop their passengers off around the Old State Capitol on River Road and then proceed to the lot near the state Capitol. See map location below for River Road lot.
- Car Parking: In addition to street parking (which is free on Saturdays in Baton Rouge), there are a few lots available for car parking (first come first serve!!). There will be shuttle transportation from the Capitol back to the beginning of the march, but it could take a little while depending on numbers:
- First Baptist Church: One of the lots at First Baptist Church is available to car parking. The lot will be first come, first serve. When you arrive at First Baptist Church, you will be directed to the correct lot. Remember, First Baptist Church is very close to the Old State Capitol, the beginning of the march. See below for a map location of First Baptist Church. Address: 529 Convention Street.
- Cathedral of St. Joseph lot: There is also a parking lot at the Cathedral of St. Joseph that is open to cars only. It is also first come, first serve. The Cathedral is located near the State Capitol, the end of the march, at 412 North Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802-5496.See below for a location map of the Cathedral.
