The event is free and open to all ages, making it a fantastic outing for the whole family.
Adding to the festivities, the stage will come alive with live music from "Native to the Parish." This three-piece high-energy power trio from Shreveport, Louisiana, has been making waves since their formation in late 2019. Their music is a fusion of Old School Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Punk, Blues, and funky bass riffs. Native to the Parish delivers a high-energy Rock-N-Roll experience infused with deep roots, blistering bass lines, machine gun drums, and poetic lyrics.
Notably, this Glo Fest is happening just across the street from the Red River Revel, another exciting downtown event. We highly recommend attending both events to make the most of your evening filled with art, music, and community spirit.
