Take a trip down to the Red River, and get ready for good shopping at the Louisiana Boardwalk and exciting gaming at our casinos. Bring your appetite, because along the river, we have plenty of delicious eating there, too! Eat at the Louisiana Boardwalk or at the casinos – or at any of the other restaurants near the river – and you get a feast of riverfront fun. It’s no wonder we do so much on the riverfront – the river is an important part of who we are! The Red River is how we got our start when a boat captain named Capt. Henry Miller Shreve cleared a log jam on the Red River in the 1830s, opening the way for trade and leading to the establishing of Shreveport. Bossier City came along shortly thereafter, bringing with it Barksdale Air Force Base, the world’s largest airfield of its time and a key player in today’s military. We show off all of this. Whether it’s an afternoon of riverfront shopping, gaming and eating or a visit to our famous Barksdale Air Show, you get a chance to engage your funloving side because we turn history into an experience.
While you’re here, you just might get a chance to meet a superstar – or become one yourself! Shreveport-Bossier City has become a key filming location for Hollywood productions, and attracts international attention. You might find yourself having lunch in the same restaurant as a producer or famous actor, or maybe you’ll get the chance to watch a movie being shot or be in one yourself. When you’re in Shreveport-Bossier City, you never can tell what opportunities await.

Shreveport-Bossier City is full of relaxing modern convenience wrapped in welcoming Southern charm. We take care of our visitors like family, filling you up with our tastiest food and treating you to as much entertainment as you want.
We are Louisiana’s Other Side, and here, we are a mix of the spicy Cajun attitude and wide-open Texas spirit. We took the tastiest of Louisiana and the best of big Texas and blended it into our own brand of entertainment and fun. From big, outdoor festivals to laugh-til-your-side-hurts indoor comedy shows, this northwestern corner of the state has it all.
Festivals are our trademark, and we hold them from the time the first warm breeze dances across our faces to the time cool air convinces us it’s time to go indoors. Shreveport Bossier City’s festivals draw hundreds of thousands, from this state and others, all ready to experience our family-friendly fun with loads of good food, days of dancing, art and a whole lot more. Our artistic legacy runs deep. We have live theater and symphony performances, and on any given weekend you’re likely to find concerts by today’s popular artists as well as those by yesterday’s favorites to take you on
a whimsical trip down memory lane. Our museums showcase our rich history, including our place in musical lore as the destination where Elvis Presley got his start on the Louisiana Hayride.
