There is no shortage of live horse-racing action in Bossier with the racetrack at Harrah’s Louisiana Downs, which is home of the Super Derby, one of the premiere races for 3 year olds in North America. Additionally, there is thoroughbred racing every weekend May through September and Quarter Horse racing from January through March, keeping racing as a top entertainment option throughout much of the year. Food may be one of the biggest attractions in the region. Positioned in the northwest corner of Louisiana, Bossier-Shreveport cuisine pulls from the Cajun and Creole roots of Louisiana, reaches into Texas for numerous tasty barbecue options and even offers an array of tasty ethnic options as well as the ever-faithful American food staples. From crawfish boils and festivals to weekends out on the town, people spend much of their days and celebrations surrounded by the great food in the area.
