"A Celebration of the Arts"
The Revel, a bicentennial gift from the Junior League to the city of Shreveport in 1976, has proven its success through its ever-growing popularity with over 350,000 visitors who come from all over the country year after year. There is plenty of food and art for all ages at this eight-day celebration in late September and early October. The League has remained one of the five major sponsors of this festival since its inception with members filling over 29 placements ranging from Arts Education Chairman to Food Chairman. Every League member participates by staffing the Revel Pepsi booths.
"Artist for a Day" Tent
The "Artist for a Day" Tent provides a free hands-on project demonstration by a professional visiting artist for children attending the Red River Revel. The tent is financed and presented by the Junior League. A different project is offered each day such as sculpting, watercolor, and pencil drawing. Every child leaves the tent with his or her own masterpiece.
