SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – Area businesses marked 318 Day on March 18 with food and drink deals, live music, and giveaways across the city. While a citywide festival was held in previous years, community organizer, Billy Anderson, said this year’s celebration took a different form.
“There’s no particular reason why,” Anderson said. “It’s just that my personal priorities are focused on other things. And we decided to skip a year so that next year we can come back with a full force.”

“I just love the culture of our city, our food, the events that we have here,” Sims said. “I went to school here. I went to college here. So 318 Day is personal for me because this is home.”…
