Where Are The Best Holiday Lights In Shreveport?

Shereveport, LA — For many of us, exploring holiday light displays is a cherished tradition, as festive as exchanging gifts or singing Christmas carols. This year, Patch and T-Mobile are teaming up to highlight some of the best light displays in and around Shreveport that you won't want to miss.

There’s a good reason twinkling holiday lights and colorful displays make us feel good, according to mental health experts.

“It does create that neurological shift that can produce happiness,” Psychologist Deborah Serani, a senior professor at New York’s Adelphi University, told NBC’s “Today” show. “I think anything that takes us out of our normal habituation, the normal day in, day out ... signals our senses, and then our senses measure if it’s pleasing or not.”

Decorating for the holidays “will spike dopamine, a feel-good hormone,” she said. “For a lot of us, Christmas is a magical time, it’s a time of innocence. It’s a time of joy.”

So, why not embrace the festive spirit? From glowing gardens to immersive light trails, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this holiday season. Check out these dazzling displays — but keep in mind that hours may vary, and most events require tickets!
