Spanish Town, located between the Mississippi River levee and Downtown Baton Rouge, is a historic and artsy Baton Rouge neighborhood with a Mardi Gras tradition and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Spanish Town Road near North Street, where painted cottages, corner bars, and parade-day energy set the tone. Architectural details lean Creole cottage and Victorian, with deep galleries and mature trees framing tight blocks. The Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade routes turn everyday sidewalks into a seasonal stage. Community pillars include the Spanish Town Mardi Gras Association, the Shaw Center for the Arts, and the Manship Theatre.
