The 48th Annual Red River Revel Arts Festival is celebration of art, music, food, and culture held at Festival Plaza in Shreveport, Louisiana. The festival features visual artists, four performance stages, food booths and a children’s arts education area. Visual art is a central element to the Revel and great importance is placed on quality. Artists are selected to participate based on a blind jury process. Artist may chose full week (9 days), first half (5 days), or second half (4 days). Limited full week double booths are also available. Artists can expect to be the featured dynamic of the festival, with art buyers travelling hundreds of miles specifically to purchase original art from vendors. Revel Artists accounted for nearly a million dollars in sales in 2023, and averaged over $10,000 per artist during the festival. Mission Statement: Our goal is to provide the general populace a 'Celebration of the Arts' that brings the finest in visual and performing arts experiences to our area. The Revel is designed to be primarily educational in nature, entirely non-commercial, non-political, non-partisan, and non-sectarian. We strive to deliver an amazing week of art and music education for kids, teens, and adults to enjoy. 2024 Red River Revel: Saturday, September 28 – Sunday, October 6 Revel Preview Party – Friday, September 27, 2024 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. First Half: 1st Saturday 11:00 am – 9:30 pm 1st Sunday 11:00 am – 8:30 pm Monday 11:00 am – 8:30 pm Tuesday 11:00 am – 8:30 pm Wednesday 11:00 am – 8:30 pm Second Half: Thursday 11:00 am – 9:30 pm Friday 11:00 am – 9:30 pm 2nd Saturday 11:00 am – 9:30 pm 2nd Sunday 11:00 am – 8:30 pm
