Logansport Christmas Festival

Celebrate the season in Logansport and DeSoto Parish with 'A Small Town Christmas'. Premiere night Saturday November 18, 2023 - December 31, 2023

Situated along the Sabine River in DeSoto Parish, Logansport is a historic riverport community between Shreveport/Bossier and Natchitoches and directly across the river from Joaquin, Texas. They kick off their season with an extravagant event on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving. You’ll enjoy the sounds of giggling and screaming children as they run from each exhibit or take a ride on the holiday train and visit with Santa. The large, lighted water tower will guide you to the destination. Fireworks, parade, entertainment, vendors, and Santa are all in attendance on the premiere night. Bring the entire family. No admission is charged.

After experiencing the lights and fireworks take a stroll along the river to enjoy the magic of the moment. Christmas lights reflecting into the Sabine River all add to the enjoyment of a fun holiday month. Several restaurants are located near Main Street adjacent to the riverfront park.

The lights remain on until after the first of the year for your enjoyment.

Other parades and celebrations throughout the parish highlight Christmas in DeSoto Parish in Stonewall, Grand Cane, and Mansfield throughout December. Logansport is a partner with Louisiana Holiday Trail of Lights.
