Red River Revel is proud to announce that The Shreveport Farmers’ Market opens Saturday, June 1st for its summer season. For the 33rd consecutive year, the Shreveport Farmers’ Market will serve local farmers and our community by providing bountiful and fun-filled weekly markets! The market will be open every Saturday through August 24 {except June 22} with new hours from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The East Pavilion features vegetables, fruits, herbs, plants, honey, and meats grown/raised within a 100-mile radius of Shreveport. Ranchers sell ethically-raised beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. Great breads, jams, jellies, pickles, various canned goods, locally-made soaps, dog treats, seasonings, and sauces are also available. And chocolates, cookies, cakes, candies, and pralines will make any sweet tooth happy!

In the West Pavilion and along Food Row you’ll find hot, ready-to-eat foods ranging from chicken and waffles to shrimp and grits. Every Saturday, enjoy live entertainment from a variety of local performers.

Free parking is available at meters and certain downtown lots. There are public restrooms under the Spring Street Bridge, and plenty of seating and shade. There is an ATM onsite, and some vendors accept credit/debit cards.
