Holiday Celebrations Ignite Festive Spirit in Shreveport

Holiday Cheer is Here in Shreveport!

Shreveport, Louisiana is already buzzing with the excitement of the holiday season! As families gear up for the most wonderful time of the year, two major celebrations—Holidays on the Red and the Louisiana Trail of Lights—are set to light up the festivities in the ArkLaTex region. On November 8, a lucky reporter got a sneak peek into what families can expect this holiday season, and let me tell you, it’s looking joyous!

What’s Holidays on the Red?

So, what’s all the fuss about Holidays on the Red? This annual event has something for everyone in the family. Picture this: festive lights sparkling in the night, unique shopping opportunities galore, and fun-filled activities that are sure to create lasting memories. Whether you’re a kid, a parent, or even a grandparent, there’s a sprinkle of holiday magic just for you!

A Shared Holiday Spirit

It’s not just about twinkly lights and tasty treats. This collaboration between Shreveport and Bossier aims to bring in visitors from outside the area, which is a win-win for everyone involved! You might wonder why? Well, November and December have traditionally been a bit slow in the hospitality sector. But with local partners joining forces for the Louisiana Holiday Trail of Lights, they’re spreading joy and economic impact across the community. Stacy Brown from Visit Shreveport-Bossier put it perfectly: “We’ve been able to change that narrative a little bit.”

Celebrating 98 Years in Natchitoches

And let’s not forget about Natchitoches, another fantastic stop on the Holiday Trail of Lights. This charming town is celebrating its 98th year of holiday traditions, and the folks there believe it means everything! It’s vital for local businesses, hotels, and the community at large. As Brown put it, this last quarter of the year is crucial for ensuring that towns can thrive throughout the rest of the year!

Mark Your Calendars!

Excited yet? Here’s a list of events you absolutely won’t want to miss! Each of these gatherings promises fun, entertainment, and a dash of that cozy holiday spirit. So take out your calendars and mark these dates:
