Spring Festivals Celebrate Culture and Food
Shreveport-Bossier is home to more than 55 festivals and annual events celebrating everything from crawfish to independent film. This year-round calendar of festivities kicks off each spring as Carnival season comes to a close and warmer weather arrives.

The 4th Annual Battle of the Gumbo Gladiators, an afternoon-long gumbo cook-off, will take place, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., in downtown Shreveport’s Festival Plaza on Saturday, March 19. During the event, gumbo teams from throughout the region will compete for cash prizes and bragging rights, while festival-goers will be able to sample gumbos and vote for their favorites. Team registration is open now through March 9. The 52nd Annual Louisiana Redbud Festival, also scheduled for Saturday, March 19, will be held in historic downtown Vivian and will feature a parade, an old fashioned street dance, arts and craft vendors and much more.

Festival season is just getting started in Shreveport-Bossier, and popular April festivals celebrating Asian culture, wine, arts and crafts and much more are just around the corner. Visit www.SBFunGuide.com for a complete list of festivals and annual events in Shreveport-Bossier.
