Why Food Influencers are Heading to 318 Food Fest on the Block

If you aren't obsessed with the culinary pulse of our city, then this Sunday simply isn't for you. We’ve already seen the epic announcements for Mudbug Madness and felt the community spirit at Gumbo Gladiators in Festival Plaza, but there is one festival designed specifically for the 318, by the 318.

The 318 Food Fest on the Block is officially returning to Shreveport for a day dedicated entirely to delicious, local eats.

Created by well-known Shreveport foodie Rich Auntie Dada, this experience is a masterclass in community building. It’s the perfect playground not just for seasoned chefs looking to debut bold new creations, but also for food lovers who crave authentic, fresh experiences.

This isn't your typical, corporate-run food festival; this event is built on the foundation of exposure and entrepreneurship. It’s about giving our local food trucks the spotlight they deserve. Whether you are an event planner looking for your next caterer or an aspiring food influencer wanting to capture the perfect shot, this is your home base.

On Sunday, March 15th, the community will converge on the 1800 block of Texas Avenue in Shreveport. It’s more than just a meal; it’s about soaking in the sounds of our neighborhood while attempting to try every single food truck on the roster. We love seeing homegrown events like this take over the city and highlight the talent right in our backyard.

The only question left is: which truck are you finally going to cross off your bucket list? Tag your favorite local food truck in the comments and let’s get ready to feast!
