Are These the 8 Best Festival Foods You’ll Ever Eat?

Shreveport Revelers counted down the minutes for the two best weekends of the year! The Red River Revel is taking over Downtown Shreveport's Festival Plaza from September 25th through 28th and again from October 2nd through 5th, 2025.

While the arts are wonderful, let's be honest: this incredible fusion of culture has become the ultimate destination for foodies.

Just look at the news: The Revel announced an epic partnership that proves it’s now a major culinary player. The Superior Margarita collaboration is more than just a new drink option; it’s a celebration of two local staples joining forces.

This perfect pairing of the most iconic margarita in Louisiana with the best food vendors around shows that the Revel is a true reflection of the community it serves.

The Ultimate Foodie Challenge

The question immediately became: what do you pair with a Superior Margarita? I took that challenge seriously. I went from food booth to food booth, trying just about every single thing imaginable.

From big, juicy turkey legs to surprisingly delicious vegan nachos, I am not ashamed to admit I lost count. Please, no judgment, I'm still riding the high of the best food coma of my life!

I tried my best to take pictures of everything, but sometimes the food was just too good and I ate first. Now that I’ve finished my research, you don't have to wander aimlessly.

If you go to the Revel this year, here are the 8 items you absolutely CAN'T miss! (Check out the gallery below to start planning your perfect plate.)
