If the sidewalks of Downtown Shreveport could talk, they’d tell you that this is where “Elvis left the building”, Ledbelly strummed, movies are shot, gamblers win, mudbugs stir up madness, Mardi Gras beads fly, ghosts haunt and children explore! Take time to "Discover" Downtown...

A walk through downtown Shreveport is a journey back in time where Elvis shook things up and Huddie Ledbetter strummed the blues on a 12-string guitar. Tourists can play a lucky hand and capture the day's winnings at two premiere casinos, shop for contemporary art, take in a classic film at Robinson Film Center, or launch into orbit at the IMAX Theater.

Visitors can also catch national touring acts at the legendary Municipal Auditorium, where Elvis made his debut on the Louisiana Hayride, the majestic Strand Theatre, Scottish Rite Temple and the Shreveport Convention Center.

Enjoy Shreveport's distinctive Festival Plaza and our local celebrations including Mudbug Madness, Red River Revel, Let the Good Times Roll, James Burton International Guitar Festival, Holiday In Dixie and many others. Stroll to Shreveport's award-winning Riverfront Park and enjoy the relaxing fountain, breathtaking view and waterfront-jogging path. Take an art stroll and visit ArtSpace or follow the Film Trail to explore the sites of Shreveport-Bossier's major movie industry.

Throughout downtown, you'll find places to dine, art and music to enjoy, movies to watch, and great company along the way. We invite you to live, work, and play with us and Discover Downtown Shreveport!
