Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Shreveport’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Red River City’s bar culture and Louisiana holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition. The Fairfield Avenue and the downtown Shreveport bar districts have developed into a vibrant scene and on ugly sweater night the combination of the casino entertainment energy, the Red River valley character, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Louisiana character that is warm, festive, and completely Shreveport.
Our Shreveport route moves through Fairfield Avenue and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and character of what Shreveport’s bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Shreveport draws on the creative energy of a casino and ArkLaTex regional community and the entries reflect that Louisiana combination of Southern warmth, Red River culture, and genuine holiday fun.
December in Shreveport is mild, typically ranging from 38 to 55 degrees at night. The Northwest Louisiana winter is pleasant weather and the Shreveport downtown holiday decorations have a warm, Southern character. The bar community here has the genuine hospitality of Louisiana at its most welcoming.
Our hosts manage the Shreveport route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Red River City creativity to the holiday season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Shreveport Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl?
Shreveport's riverfront casinos run long past a crawl's scheduled hours, which shapes the December night here. One wristband covers the participating bars, the drink specials and the route map.
Has a Shreveport date been posted?
Shreveport has not posted a date. The December Saturdays ahead of Christmas are when these run, so check the listing again nearer the season. Nothing is fixed until the page shows one.
Which part of Shreveport does the crawl use?
Downtown near the riverfront and the casino district is the likeliest, with the Line Avenue area as an alternative. Your confirmed venue arrives with the ticket. Each is a genuinely different evening.
Do the Shreveport casinos stay open late?
Yes, and that matters in December. The riverfront casinos run long past a crawl's scheduled hours, which gives the night an obvious place to continue afterwards. Plan the trip home accordingly.
How warm is Shreveport in December?
Mild, usually in the 40s and 50s after dark with north Louisiana humidity still around. A heavy sweater is genuinely warm here rather than a layer under a coat.
Is Christmas in the Sky that weekend?
Not usually. Shreveport's best-known December gala is a separate ticketed event, so a sweater crawl runs independently of it rather than alongside. Check its date if you were planning to combine the two into one weekend.
Is downtown Shreveport walkable that night?
Within the riverfront cluster, yes. The casinos and downtown bars sit close enough to cover on foot, though anything out on Line Avenue is a drive rather than a walk.
Should I arrange a ride home in Shreveport?
Yes. Rideshare demand climbs on December Saturdays, and the drive back out to south Shreveport or across into Bossier City is a real distance. Agree the pickup point before you start the evening.
