Music Shreveport-Bossier’s music roots run deep.

Municipal Auditorium

If you want to be entertained, there is no shortage of options.

Whether it’s a jazz date night or an evening of rock with friends, Shreveport-Bossier sets the stage for unforgettable musical experiences.

The beautiful and iconic Municipal Auditorium on Elvis Presley Avenue has a storied history. The Art Deco building was the birthplace of the Louisiana Hayride, a radio show heard far and wide in the 1940s and ‘50s. Shreveport’s own Hank Williams performed his hits “Jambalaya” and “Lovesick Blues” on the show. The Hayride, the Municipal and Shreveport-Bossier are credited with launching many music careers, including “The King of Rock ‘N Roll,” Elvis Presley and Shreveport native, James Burton, who served as guitarist and band leader for Elvis until the King passed in 1977.

Live music can be found throughout the week at various restaurants such as Ki’ Mexico in downtown Shreveport and Frozen Pirogue at the East Bank District. Large outdoor venues like Hurricane Alley in the East Bank Arts District and The Stage at Silver Star in north Bossier often bring both seasoned professionals and emerging talents to the area.

Music Prize Fest

Shreveport-Bossier’s music festival scene is robust and known to unite local and world-renowned artists at popular events such as Prize Foundation’s Music Fest, Red River Revel and Highland Jazz & Blues Festival. Read more about festivals on page 16.

“It’s Why We Fly”

- Red River Balloon Rally celebrates ten years of community wonder

For a week during the height of the sweltering summer of 2016, folks in North Louisiana’s sister cities of Shreveport and Bossier found themselves suddenly transfixed by the sight of giant, colorful globes drifting silently through clear, morning skies. High above his hometown, hot air balloon pilot Pat Harwell was in his element—gazing out over the sprawling Northwest Louisiana landscape, when he spotted a school out on a rural road.

From it, he could see a stream of children pouring out of the doors like ants. He told his crew, “Let’s drop down right here.”

After touching down on the lawn, waving like

a fanciful master of the skies, Harwell and his team spent the hour that followed taking the kids aloft for tethered flights. At one point one of the children turned to Harwell’s wife, Susan, and said, “We’ve been saying prayers every day that a balloon would land here.”

“It’s moments like that,” Harwell said, recounting the memory, “… well, you can’t ask me why we fly.”

2016 was the year that Shreveport-Bossier began hosting the annual U.S. National Hot Air Balloon Championship. In the decade that has followed, the annual event has made the sister cities a prime summertime destination for many of the country’s most accomplished hot-air balloon pilots.

That summer saw another new tradition take flight in Shreveport-Bossier: the Red River Balloon Rally, which today draws tens of thousands of attendees, who come to celebrate humankind’s oldest means of taking to the skies. After the 2016 U.S. Nationals, the city became host of the Louisiana State Ballooning Championships—which draws more than twenty elite pilots each year to compete for national qualification.

flight crew on a whim, and fell in love at first flight. Within a week of her first ride, she and Pat had purchased a balloon of their own—a step that set Susan on a path to becoming the first female balloon pilot in North Louisiana.

More than thirty years later, she and Pat have raised their family in the ballooning community, and continue to share the magic across the South.

“It’s the freest experience I’ve ever had,” said Pat. “You’ve got 360-degree visibility, can see for twenty, thirty miles. I just fell in love with it To celebrate the annual summertime showcase, the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commision joins forces with Visit ShreveportBossier to host two days (July 10–11 this year) of unforgettable family-friendly festivities at Louisiana Downs Casino & Racetrack, now the Red River Balloon Rally’s long-term home.

David Bradley, Vice President of Business Development at Visit Shreveport-Bossier, noted that the festival’s tenth anniversary stands as a testament to the longstanding collaboration between organizers, pilots, and the community. “If you don’t have that kind of dedication and buy-in, you don’t get ten years out of an event like this,” he said. Over the years, the Rally has grown alongside the city itself, settling into a venue that offers top-tier amenities for visitors and pilots alike.

Such attention to detail matters. According to Harwell, experienced balloon pilots are increasingly rare, and the events that treat them well quickly earn a reputation.

“Shreveport-Bossier is trusted,” he said. “The team makes sure the pilots have a great experience, and that they are as safe as possible.”

Pat and Susan Harwell have been piloting hot air balloons since 1991, when Susan joined a

and love the chance to share that.”

That generosity of spirit is common among balloon pilots, Pat noted, and it’s a defining feature that visitors to the Red River Balloon Rally will feel, either while watching the aerial displays from terra firma, or going aloft themselves—rising weightlessly into the sky.

Celebrating the sport they love with their hometown has become a yearly highlight for the Harwells, and they’ve enjoyed drawing other pilots into the fold. “I can’t say enough “thank-you’s” to the Sports Commission for making this happen for our community,” said Pat. “This is not done to make money, it’s really done to bring something wonderful to the people of Shreveport. It takes a lot of work to make this happen, and it’s so good for the city, it really is.”

The Red River Balloon Rally’s tenth anniversary celebration on July 10–11, 2026 aligns with Shreveport-Bossier’s broader plans commemorating America’s 250th birthday, making this summer an especially meaningful time to visit.
