‘Love the Boot Week’ kicks off in Downtown Shreveport
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — It’s Love the Boot Week in Louisiana, and Shreveport Green hosted a volunteer event this morning.
Love the Boot Week takes place from April 5 to 13, 2025. They partnered with the Robinson Film Center to clean up litter downtown before their larger clean-up event this weekend.

Shreveport Green’s big double city-wide clean-up is Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon at Fair Grounds Field, 2901 Pershing Blvd, Shreveport. Volunteers who collect the most aluminum cans win a cash reward.
