Three New Holiday Events in Shreveport-Bossier the Whole Family Will Love

This year everyone’s favorite events like Rockets Over the Red and Christmas in Roseland are returning to Shreveport-Bossier, but equally exciting are the addition of two new events. FriendsWithYou Rainbow City Festival and Sno-Port are both events that you and your family won’t want to miss out on.

From Nov. 2-Dec. 8, visit the FriendsWithYou Rainbow City Festival art installation in the new Caddo Common Park. Attendees will be able to walk around 35 colorful, air-filled sculptures. These 50-feet-tall sculptures make the perfect background for holiday family photos. Throughout the six weeks Rainbow City is in Shreveport, there will be special events such as Healthy Wednesdays, brunch experiences and after-hours events with live music. Rainbow City is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is free, with special events priced separately. 

From Nov. 30-Jan. 30, experience a variety of winter-themed interactive games at Sno-Port at Sci-Port Discovery Center. Learn the science behind snowflakes and other winter phenomena through eight new hands-on activities. Then head to the Planetarium to climb aboard the Red River Rocket sleigh to take an interactive virtual reality ride through a snow blizzard. Sci-Port Discovery Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday-Saturday; and 12-5 p.m., Sunday. Admission is $5 for children and $12 for adults.
