April 2 marks World Autism Day, and Shreveport planned to “Light It Up Blue” to raise awareness and celebrate people with autism on that day. However, inclement weather resulted in the event being canceled. 

The event has been rescheduled to tomorrow, Wednesday, April 30, at 7:30pm.  

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.
