Red River Revel Arts Festival

Revel is one of Louisiana’s largest and most beloved cultural festivals—a multi-day celebration of art, music, food, and community that transforms Shreveport into a hub of creativity and Southern hospitality.

With a footprint stretching across Festival Plaza in downtown Shreveport, Revel features live performances, regional cuisine, visual arts, craft vendors, and children’s activities, drawing a diverse, family-friendly crowd of locals and tourists alike.

Why it matters:

• High foot traffic over multiple days
• Strong civic support and over 40 years of community tradition
• A cultural anchor in the region with a built-in, loyal audience
• Brand integration opportunities across signage, print, digital, and on-site experiences

Revel is more than a festival—it’s a vibrant expression of Louisiana’s creative spirit.
