This holiday season, the Downtown Development Authority invites you to support local businesses during the annual Shop Small initiative. As you prepare your gift lists and holiday celebrations, make Downtown Shreveport your shopping destination, where unique treasures and heartfelt service await.

Downtown Shreveport’s eclectic mix of boutiques, galleries, and specialty stores offer something for everyone. From handcrafted goods and local art to one-of-a-kind fashion and home décor, shopping small means discovering gifts as unique as the people receiving them.

To kick off the celebration, join us for Small Business Saturday on November 30th. Participating downtown retailers will feature special promotions, discounts, and giveaways to thank shoppers for their support. Explore new stores, enjoy the festive decorations, and take in the holiday cheer while strolling the historic streets of Downtown Shreveport.

Our small businesses are an essential part of what makes Downtown Shreveport unique,” said Cedric B. Glover, Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority. “By shopping locally, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a community, fostering growth, and celebrating the hardworking people behind these businesses.”

While you’re out shopping, take the time to explore all that Downtown Shreveport has to offer. Visit landmarks, attractions,  and other cultural and historical gems throughout downtown. Treat yourself to a meal at one of our amazing restaurants, featuring everything from Southern comfort food to international cuisine. Soak in the festive atmosphere with live music, twinkling lights, and beautifully decorated storefronts.

Make a day of it—shop, dine, and discover why Downtown Shreveport is where you can find it all this holiday season.
