ONE NIGHT, A FIELD, GREAT FRIENDS, BIG FIREWORKS...
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO KICK OFF THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER!
For the second year in a row, your EveryWarrior Family brings you WarriorFest, exclusively for our Warriors currently serving in our military and their families. An evening of just being together, complete with a tailgate party atmosphere, music, fun, inflatables, food trucks, games, and you...all headlined by a MASSIVE 15-minute professional fireworks show.
WHY?
Why are we doing this?
Well, as you may know, our organization got its start out of our flagship annual November event known as "The Warrior's Thanksgiving Feast." In 2020, due to COVID, The Feast was unable to happen.
In response to the pandemic and the immediate isolation it caused, last year, we decided to find the biggest and safest field we could, and light up the night sky with the biggest fireworks show we could get. This year, we're doing it all over again, as a way of both bringing our Warriors out and together (safely, of course) and as a way of showing a small glimpse of our love and appreciation for you.
We see the sacrifice you have made and the adapting you have done as you have dealt with the pandemic, and we want to ensure that you know that while the fight continues to rage on, you are not forgotten about...especially right here at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We at Every Warrior, along with your leadership, and the greater communities of Shreveport/Bossier, are for you!

ABOUT THE HOST LOCATION:
To some, Riverpark is simply known as "The Park." To locals, it's the old Hamel's Amusement Park (and yes, it was a fun place to go back in the day and the Bumper Cars from the 80s are still on site!) Today, it's a church campus that allows outside organizations and friends to use their property.
For us, it's a place where we can safely gather together, provide security, have plenty of room for fun, have the perfect fireworks viewing area from anywhere in and around the park, and a great place to enjoy the night. We are grateful for their generosity and support.
The address for the event is:
3232 East 70th Street
Shreveport, LA 71105
