SHUTTLE SERVICE: 5:00pm-9:30pm

Shuttles will begin running at 5:00pm and run every 20 min.
They will pick up at Sam's Town, Hilton, and the parking lot behind First Methodist Church (in that order).
The last shuttle will depart from Texas Street at 9:30pm.

PARKING:

Valet will be available at the head of Texas Street near Common. This will be the best parking option for our 40s, 50s, and 80s graduates.
Shuttles will run from the Hilton and Sam's Town Hotels for drop off near the Robinson.
The First Methodist parking lots are open to us to use for free parking and our shuttles will be running there to pick you up!
Street parking downtown is free after 5pm.
Douglas Parking Lots are available but are always pay to park. This includes the big Regions parking garage near Noble Savage, which requires a credit card. So the 60s, 70s and 90s decades may want to park there.
Casino parking garages are always available as well and parking is free along Commerce Street. These will be good options for the 2000s graduates.
Ubers and Lyfts are great options too.

FOOD:

Each decade venue will have food and drinks for purchase but there are other options too

Ono's Hawaiian Grill at 708 Texas Street
Papion's Creole Bistreaux at 500 Texas Street
Blind Tiger
Abby Singer's Bistro

FUN:

Shreveport Regional Arts Coucil will have their doors open at Artspace and would love for all Byrd Alumni so come have a cold drink and browse their art exhibit featuring artwork by local artists. Maybe even some artwork created by Byrd Alumni! Go check it out and don't forget to snap a picture in front of their Byrd Centennial mural window! Take a pic and text it to our Byrd Alumni cell phone 318.286.7890
Make sure to checkout the Texas St. bridge that will be lit up purple and gold for the entire weekend!

SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES:

An EMS unit will be available during this event from 6pm-9pm provided by the City of Shreveport.
The Centennial Committee has worked closely with the Shreveport Police Department to ensure we have extra security in place to keep all Byrd Alumni safe as they celebrate with their decades. A special Thank You to all of our Decades Sponsors whose sponsorships helped cover this cost. Thanks for keeping us safe!
