April 2 marks World Autism Day, and Shreveport plans to “Light It Up Blue” to raise awareness and celebrate people with autism. The city is proud to recognize this day with special events and moments of inclusion on Wednesday, April 2 at 7:15pm. 

Join Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor at the Riverfront Amphitheater as the Bakowski Bridge of Lights turns BLUE for autism awareness. Let’s unite in support of the neurodiverse community. All families are welcome to join the city for this meaningful event in downtown Shreveport.

In Louisiana, approximately 1 in 54 children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Together, the community can raise awareness and foster acceptance for individuals on the autism spectrum.

Remember to wear blue! Let’s show support and make this day unforgettable.
