Louisiana Boardwalk Hosts An Array of Holiday Festivities
Shreveport-Bossier City, La. – The Louisiana Boardwalk will host a variety of fun-filled holiday events this season that promise excitement for the entire family!
All season long, from Nov. 24 to Jan. 1, Louisiana Boardwalk shoppers will enjoy various holiday festivities from the Holiday Tree Lighting to the holiday-music themed Feature Fountain, to Santa’s House and the nightly Boardwalk Blizzard.
The Boardwalk Blizzard brings snow to the Louisiana Boardwalk, making it the only place in Louisiana that guarantees wintry, snowy nights. The Feature Fountain will showcase lighted fountains choreographed to classical holiday tunes, playing at the top of each hour.
