We have a new online format for

Louisiana Road Trip Readers.

Road trips and entertainment ideas this month include the St. Matthew SOCKHOP 2010 in Monroe, the Lumberjack Festival in Springhill, the Tamale Fiesta in Zwolle, an evening at the Fiske Theatre in Oak Grove, and an abbreviated tour of the Highland section in Shreveport, a unique area celebrating diverse architecture.

Please let us know what you think. Send us an email, forward it to your friends.

"Learn about the unique history of this area while you sink knee-deep in its culture and cuisine. Get to know local artists and shop owners, state parks and forests, lakes and rivers. Then come on over and play a while. We guarantee you’ll have a great time!"
