Carrying the tradition of performing arts from generation to generation is the primary goal of the Theatre of the Performing Arts. Aside from putting on various stage productions, the theater also makes education another high priority, as students, members of various civic organizations, and other clubs all take part in programs that foster a continued interest in taking center stage.

Shreveport's Mudbug Madness Festival all started when people began to view the people in Shreveport more as Texans than natives of Louisiana. In response to that erroneous perception, a group of citizens wanted to stage the largest crawfish boil in the downtown area, add lots of music and fun, and reinforce the Cajun culture and attitude in the city. What started as a two day festival has become a four-day tradition that happens every Memorial Day Weekend and draws as many as 56,000 people in one day.
