BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) -- Families visiting Baton Rouge during football season can find plenty of fun activities to do and new restaurants to dine at throughout the city.

Baton Rouge is home to two colleges with football teams, Louisiana State University and Southern University. Fans of both can enjoy the restaurants, shops and businesses in the Red Stick.

As fall weather rolls around, people can plan to attend seasonal family-friendly events and enjoy dining outdoors. Autumn events include Brew at the Zoo, the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair and Cap City Beer Fest.

Many restaurants and coffee shops offer menu items with seasonal favorites and must-haves like gumbo, beignets and Southern comfort food classics like red beans and rice.
