Best events in
Princeton

While Princeton itself is a quiet community, there's no shortage of events and things to do in the greater Shreveport-Bossier City area. Much of the region's cultural life is centered in Downtown Shreveport, with its historic theaters and live music venues. Across the Red River, Bossier City's East Bank District offers a more modern, walkable entertainment hub for nightlife and outdoor gatherings.

The walkable East Bank District in Bossier City provides a lively setting where an evening can flow from dinner to outdoor music at Hurricane Alley Live.
Historic venues like The Strand Theatre and the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium host national tours and theatrical productions in the heart of downtown.
A strong festival culture means large-scale annual gatherings, from the Red River Revel Arts Festival in the fall to the Mudbug Madness celebration of Louisiana crawfish.
