WBRZ is coming 2 your town!

WBRZ is heading across the Mississippi this September to join Port Allen for the 2026 Oldies But Goodies Festival — a longtime community favorite that celebrates classic music, vintage style, and the charm of the good ole’ days. Just minutes from Baton Rouge, the festival packs the weekend with classic cars, live music, barbecue competitions, and nostalgic events that show off Port Allen’s personality.

Starting the week of September 7, the Channel 2 news team will highlight the people, businesses, and stories that make Port Allen stand out. Twice a day, our reporters will share community spotlights that capture the town’s history, character, and the folks who keep it moving forward.

Then on September 11, WBRZ will broadcast live from the Oldies But Goodies Festival grounds. We’re inviting residents and visitors to stop by, say hello, and celebrate with Baton Rouge’s only locally owned news station.
