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.
Instead of jeans and t-shirts and the usual laid back date, get dressed up for a romantic night out. Reach into the back of your closet for that suit or cocktail dress you rarely wear and step out to enjoy the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. With various performances scheduled throughout the year, it's a great opportunity to absorb some classical music and soar with some of the area's culture vultures instead of the usual bar flies.
As you check your gear and board the plane, nothing will quite prepare you for the thrill of that moment when you step out the door and experience the jarring sense of freedom as you skydive and see the earth so many feet below you. Skydiving is a sport that so many have enjoyed for so long, and Louisiana Skydiving has made it possible for so many divers to have a safe, fun and thrilling experience every time they ascend to the skies.
