The Festivals
by jholley534
In my opinion the best time to visit Shreveport would be during a festival. There are almost 40 festivals and events held here annually so it shouldn't be to difficult to find one around your scheduled vacation. From an eating crawfish festival to a famous Louisiana Mardi Gras Parade there's something for all ages to enjoy. If you can't find the dates of some of these and need more info...email me and I will try to get you what you need. Here's a list of some of the events:
-ARTBREAK

There's lots more.....just couldn't list them all.
Lunch at Cool Beans
by vigi
This is definately a MUST-EAT in Shreveport. The mexican food are SO GOOD!!! Cool Beans is a kind of Subway for Mexican-food devotees, but it don't taste like fast food at all. All the ingredients for burrito, taco and salad building are spread out like a punctured pinata. This restaurant is very artsy and eclectic. It offers made to order salads, burritos and more.
Cool Beans, 855 Pierremont, Suite 135 (in Towne Oak Square) Shreveport, (318) 868-5100.

Build your own Burrito!
by ATXtraveler about Cool Beans!
Sarah and I went as a large group to Cool Beans this evening, and enjoyed a build your own burrito experience. We were old pros at this type of food because of places like Chipotle and Freebirds, but this place was as good as it gets in Shreveport.
The food was not as well prepared as some other burrito places, and I did not think it was nearly as good... but this is a fun place to enjoy a meal with friends. You get to add your own ingredients, so the only person to blame is yourself for a bad meal!
Also... I would highly recommend drinking a coke or iced tea there, as Shreveport water does not taste very good!
Shreveport Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau
by grandmaR
One of the first things I did was go to the Visitor's Center to get maps and information. I particularly wanted to go to the historic cemetery in downtown Shreveport, and I wanted to know where it was, so Bob stopped and let me out at the visitor's center, and I got information. The people there were extremely helpful.
Even though there are some discontented AF wives living here. Shreveport does have things to do other than gamble.
