The Baker Buffalo Festival, which is held every September, has events like a car show, balloon rides, and an art contest. As the name suggests, you can also eat lots of buffalo wings.

A mere 12 miles from Baton Rouge, Baker does what a small city in the East Baton Rouge Parish should -- offers convenient transport, has plenty of things to do, and provides relaxing spots to call home. The Mississippi River and Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport are nearby as well. While living here won't whirl you into a world of glamour, you'll find what you need in Baker. View Baker City Guide
