5 Best Festivals For The Family In Louisiana
Nobody hosts as many festivals as we do in Louisiana. As soon as the sunshine and warmth of the spring hits the air, people want to get outside and get together. You name it, we have a festival for it. Jambalaya, shrimp, oysters, strawberries, alligators, wooden boats, and any type of music you can think of all have their own festival. In fact, from March first through May thirty first, there are fifteen major festivals within a two hour drive of Baton Rouge. That equals more than one festival per weekend. So, as the days get longer and the weather gets more cooperative, it’s only natural to want to throw the family in the car and take part in the festivities. That is why we have put together a list of the 5 best festivals for the family in Louisiana.

A startling new survey was released earlier this month. The National Safety Council released estimates that show, for the first time in a decade, the number of motor vehicle fatalities for 2016 surpassed 40,000 for the year. This is a cause for concern, but this isn’t the most startling part. Something else in the survey has us asking Baton Rouge drivers to remain vigilant behind the wheel, always practice safety first, or more simply put, just please be careful on the road.
The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas is set to arrive in just a few months. But, before Volkswagen’s largest SUV gets to Baton Rouge, folks at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show got a glimpse of the Atlas’ Weekend Edition this week. The Volkswagen Atlas Weekend Edition is a throwback to the “Weekender” packages offered on the classic Vanagon and Eurovan pop-up camper models. The Atlas Weekend Edition integrates several available accessories and smart accessories that enhance the Chattanooga-built SUV’s versatility with innovative cargo solutions. Some of the features of the Weekend Edition suggest that it will appeal to, among others, growing families who maintain an active, on the go, lifestyle.
When buying a new car, it’s important to know as much as you can about what you are looking for. Price, size, and gas mileage narrow down what you want into a smaller set, or class of vehicles. If you are searching for a mid-size sedan, the Volkswagen R-Line proves to be competitive, if not superior, to its competition in those categories.
The market for SUV’s continues to grow on an annual basis. Every year, SUV’s become more driver friendly, more technologically advanced, and more fuel efficient. Buyers love the roominess, being up high, and many other features. There is also the added benefit of the attitude and lifestyle that has a growing appeal. Volkswagen has been following this trend and has been responding in kind with some positive results. In 2016, Volkswagen made great strides in the SUV market by introducing the Atlas, and making some tweaks to the Tiguan that were met with rave reviews. Moving forward, Volkswagen continues to gain momentum in the SUV market.
2017 is already off to a great start for Volkswagen as its Golf family of vehicles receives some good news to bring in the New Year. Car and Driver Magazine has named the Golf, Golf Alltrack, Golf GTI, and Golf R to its 2017 “10 Best” list. The Golf was praised were versatility, dynamics and value.

As we go through life, our priorities continually change. What we want versus what we need is dependent upon where we are in life. When we are just entering the workforce, and every dollar counts, we value the fuel efficiency of the Golf, as we move up the ladder at work, we may want to move up to a sedan like a Passat or a CC, and when we have kids, it’s time to start looking for a vehicle that can carry more people. It is with this in mind that Volkswagen announced the newest addition to its family, the Atlas.
