Let the Good Times Roll at Wing Ding 43!
For the first time in it's history, Wing Ding is headed to the great state of Louisiana and it's third largest city, Shreveport!

Seated on the banks of the Red River, Shreveport is linked in many ways with its sister city on the other side of the river, Bossier City. Many refer to the two cities as "Shreveport-Bossier." Situated in the northwest corner of the state near the borders of Texas and Arkansas, Shreveport serves as the commercial and cultural center of the tri-state region, a region which is widely considered to be the border between the West and the South.

Shreveport has become a popular tourist destination largely due to its various riverboat casinos, numerous historic landmarks, art galleries, museums and much more!

See below as we have finalized our ever-popular dinner and entertainment events! These events almost always sell out early so be sure to add them onto your registration or sign up today!

As always, we have teamed up with the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Visitors Bureau who will not only be hosting a grand Wing Ding Welcome Party but has also helped us secure some great room blocks at guaranteed rates! Be sure to book your room before they're all gone! The Shreveport Hilton hotel is already sold out but there are plenty of other great options still available!

Our Rider Education Safety courses are now open for enrollment! Already registered for the event? Simply call to add on the Rider Education course of your choice.

We have some exciting changes coming to Wing Ding and we can't wait for you to join us next June 28 - July 2, 2022! Enjoy the ride and we'll see you there!

Experience The Boom
or Bust Byway
Start your journey through the scenic, back road countryside along the Boom or Bust Byway. This byway is the ultimate road trip for international visitors, families, retirees, and young explorers who are looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure. This self-driving tour offers great biking paths, fishing holes, antique shops, local diners, and more.

The Boom or Bust Byway follows Highway 2 and is defined by the Louisiana/Texas border and Hwy. 3049 on the west and Lake Claiborne on the east. The Byway is comprised of four parishes: Caddo, Bossier, Webster, and Claiborne. Navigating through the Boom or Bust Byway creates the opportunity for travelers to enjoy the company of local people, indulge in southern eateries, and attend popular festivals throughout the rural towns while recharging in the peaceful setting only found along our byway.
