## FAQ

### Are there free Christmas lights in Baton Rouge?
Yes. Festival of Lights is free in 2026.

### Drive-thru or walk-through: which is better with little kids?
We didn’t find a drive-thru with 2026 dates yet. Walk-throughs (two here) are better for kids who want to run around.

### What time do the Christmas lights start in Baton Rouge? We have an early bedtime.
The earliest evening starts: Louisiana Lights at 5:30 p.m. The first hour after opening is the easiest with an early bedtime. For no-late-night options, Festival of Lights works in the daytime.

### How do you check these Christmas lights listings?
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page, and links to it. We list dates, times and prices only when that page shows them for 2026; anything without posted dates goes in “Dates not posted yet” instead. These were last checked Oct 19, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. [How we choose and check](https://littlesweekly.com/how-we-choose/).
