Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras celebrations in Shreveport have been going on now over twenty years. In 1989, the Krewe of Gemini held its first parade through the streets of Shreveport.

Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras celebrations in Shreveport have been going on now over twenty years. In 1989, the Krewe of Gemini held its first parade through the streets of Shreveport. The holiday has been growing ever since. In these twenty years, there have been at least twenty krewes formed in the Shreveport area alone. Even more have been formed in smaller towns all across northern Louisiana. History has it that Shreveport began its Mardi Gras tradition right after the civil war. However the Great Depression stopped the fun. A few of the many celebrations include the following:
-
