1st Saturdays	Kafé Kréyol-la To celebrate its love for both the French and Creole cultures of our community, the West Baton Rouge Museum is hosting this monthly program to anyone seeking a space to speak, learn, or simply support the Louisiana Creole language and culture. Of course, refreshments will be provided since you can’t have a true South Louisiana gathering without some coffee and something to snack on while you chat. The program is every first Saturday of the month, 10:30 a.m. - 12 Noon, open to the public, and FREE of charge.
