Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser praises the Shreveport-Bossier area for the record setting success of the just completed Mudbug Madness Memorial Day Festival.
The festival, back this year after a year hiatus because of the COVID pandemic, returned with record numbers of attendees, with Saturday night crowds estimated to be in excess of 10,000. Unbelievable! We made a commitment to promote and support festivals anywhere in the state, because we can t afford to have any event not be a success, says Nungesser, It s been an incredible success and great successes all over Louisiana. We re back open for business and I think we re going to bounce back a lot faster than people think.

The time has come. One of the biggest parties in the Ark-La-Tex is making its grand return to the Festival Plaza in downtown Shreveport. Mudbug Madness kicked off in 1984 as a two-day street festival in downtown Shreveport. Now Mudbug Madness is one of Louisiana’s largest Cajun festivals, with some of the best live music and mouth-watering Cajun cuisine, and cold beer.
Mudbug Madness is nationally recognized as one of the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Events and the American Bus Association’s Top 100 Event in the nation. We are very proud of all the success of
Mudbug Madness. This year the dates are May 28th through May 30th from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

BILLINGS, Mont. Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks have resumed large group tours with safety measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19, including wearing masks and being tested with 72 hours before the trip or showing proof of vaccination.
American Bus Association President Pete Pantuso called it a “reasonable” approach, citing increased demand and interest from people to visit, The Billings Gazette reported. However, he said he doesn’t expect charter and bus operations to see a lot of traffic until later in the summer and fall.
