Spanning both sides of the Red River, Shreveport and Bossier City Mardi Gras offers a wide range of activities. From riverboat gambling to river walk amusements, or from musical hot spots to the famous gastronomical creation called the ‘Muffy.’ Most anticipated in northwest Louisiana is the Mardi Gras season. Carnival is a farewell to flesh. A celebration of abundance before renouncing Earthly pleasures on Ash Wednesday. But not before the exclamation: laissez les bons temps rouler, or ‘let the good times roll!’ Mardi Gras is French for ‘Fat Tuesday,’ the biggest party day before the devout repentance of Lent. On the ‘Other Side of Louisiana,’ the fun-loving people of Shreveport and Bossier City celebrate an alternative version of Mardi Gras. Explore these and more with your expert personal guide, available 24/7 on your schedule!

"Exciting, a whole new concept"
Around The World Travel Radio

"Even though I am a local, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting and learning more about the history of the landmarks. The author's interest in the area comes through in his engaging style of writing. Being able to complete the tour at my own pace made it even
more enjoyable."
Flora Savitzky (Researcher)

"When the conference ended, I stayed in town on my own and used T4M's self-guided tour to decide which things in town I wanted to visit and what to see/do there. The guide was right every step of the way. Bottom line, this guide helped me make the most of my time in town."
Ed Wetschler, SATW & Editor of Tripitini
