CRAWFEST 2023 IS PRESUMABLY SCHEDULED AT BETTY VIRGINIA PARK ON FRIDAY-SUN, MAR. 17-19!

This FOR-PROFIT event is the only FOR-PROFIT event allowed to use a Shreveport park that is surrounded on all four sides for a festival--much less a three-day festival. RENT FREE!

Yes, a publicly owned and public maintained park will be used at NO COST to the promoter a three-day FOR-PROFIT event.

The SPD Alcohol Beverage Unit has issued a Special Event Temporary Alcohol Permit for part of the event.

The permit allows the sale of beer, wine and liquor as follows:

Fri. Mar. 17--NO Sales

Sat. Mar. 18--3 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Sun. Mar. 19--10 a.m. until 10 p.m.

Mon. Mar. 20--10 a.m. until 10 p.m.

The city has failed to respond to a Public Records Request for the permit filed with SPAR for use of the park.

Litigation is being prepared to restrict alcohol sales to the times limited in the SPD permit.
