About Shreveport
Overlooking vast wetlands, pine tree forests, and the Red River is Shreveport, the third largest city in Louisiana. With its low elevation, the city experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall that occurs especially during the summer and spring seasons. Shreveport was founded in the early 19th century to serve as a meeting point between the Texas Trail and tributary of the Atchafalaya and Mississippi rivers. Shreveport has been named by the National Civic League as an All-American City 3 times.
Things to do in Shreveport
Shreveport is home to an abundance of festivals and celebrations. In the springtime, Shreveport hosts a particularly vibrant Mardi Gras replete with parades, masquerades, and music. The month of October brings the Red River Revel, an annual event filled with art, food, and concerts where the proceeds from each fair goes into hosting the following year’s festival. Another yearly event held in Shreveport is Mudbug Madness, a street fair that celebrates Cajun culture with a crawfish boil accompanied by blues and jazz music.

Known for its extraordinary Mardi Gras celebrations, New Orleans is the go-to destination during the days leading up to Lent. In addition to hosting this spirited fête, New Orleans boasts the French Quarter, a historic neighborhood lined with impressive structures built in the Spanish architectural style. Contrary to its name, the French Quarter’s namesake colonial architecture was destroyed in the late 18th century by the Great New Orleans Fire. At New Orleans, visitors can embark on a swamp tour; munch on tasty beignet and coffee at the acclaimed Café du Monde; and indulge in flavorful Cajun food.
