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!

For 89 years, the Shreveport Little Theatre has been consistently staging productions that have put smiles on the faces of countless audiences. The entertainment venue relies on the talents of local actors and actresses to perform in their varied but consistently entertaining schedule of plays. From The Little Shop of Horrors to Hairspray, you're not far from a fun at this local tip-of-the-hat to the magic of Broadway.

Taking a hike is always fun, but it's even more of an adventure when the terrain that you're exploring is as picturesque as the Walter B. Jacobs Memorial Nature Park. The trails are as inviting as the pine-oak-hickory forest in which they lie, and several naturalists are available by appointment to guide you through your trek. The park also offers special programs for students and various school groups, as well as day camps and other special events and attractions.

If you're feeling particularly lucky and want to see how that luck will translate into cash, you can take several chances at the Horseshoe Casino Hotel. With 1,500 slot machines and 50 table games, the odds are pretty good that you'll walk away with a little more in your pocket, as well as the memory of the fun nightlife experience. And if all that gaming increased your appetite, you can enjoy a celebratory meal at the hotel's steak house, Asian restaurant, buffet, cafe and grille, or deli.
