Each of the two sponsors contributed $ 15,000 to live after 5 to provide a schedule for six shows for both spring and autumn.

During his address, Edwards spoke of the importance of investing in the economic and cultural landscape of Baton Rouge, emphasizing how events like live after 5 serve as more than fun – they are catalysts for economic growth, tourism and community commitment.

“Mapp Construction and B1bank did not waste time to keep the music alive, ensuring that Baton Rouge’s families can continue to enjoy this hidden tradition in the city center,” Edwards said in a statement.
