Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana Welcomes the Gold Wing Road Riders Association and Wing Ding 43!

June 28 – July 2, 2022 | Shreveport Convention Center

Located in northwest Louisiana, Shreveport-Bossier is a special blend. It’s part Cajun, because of its Louisiana roots, and part Texan because of its close proximity to Texas. This meshing of cultures makes it a cultural focal point of the region known as the Ark-La-Tex.

Presented annually by the Gold Wing Road Riders Association, Wing Ding will be held in Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana for the very first time in 2022. At Wing Ding 43, attendees will experience the ultimate Honda Gold Wing & Touring Bike convention - complete with a welcome reception, tradeshow, parade, lessons on motorcycle safety, and more! Click here for a schedule of events.

Shreveport-Bossier is easily accessible via I-20 and I-49. The Shreveport Regional Airport is serviced by American Airlines, United Airlines, Allegiant Airlines, and Delta Airlines and is located only 10 minutes from downtown Shreveport.
