What’s Happening This Week in Downtown Shreveport
Weather Update & Upcoming Events
Due to the significant chance of winter weather and the upgraded Ice Storm Warning, we encourage everyone to use caution when traveling this weekend and into next week. Many events have been canceled or rescheduled in the interest of public safety. Please stay safe, monitor local updates, and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
