Each November, the area's best local and regional musicians along with some nationally recognized artists gather for the Highland Jazz and Blues Festival. Known as Shreveport's "party in the park," there's a whole lot more than just the incredible music. You'll see unique jewelry, home décor, and other one-of-a-kind items for sale by participating artisans. Two stages feature rotating musical acts, and the five hours of live music and fun are absolutely free!
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.
A romantic outdoor stroll for a couple or a nice little break for the whole family, the RiverView Park is the perfect place to do either one. With its spectacular 35 foot tall steel roses, a 300 foot long floating dock and the omnipresent Red River, it is one of the city's premier places to take in all of nature's wonders.
