Shreveport – After 26 years of delighting visitors with its autumnal attractions, DixieMaze in Shreveport will close its doors after the conclusion of this fall season. The announcement was made on Wednesday, June 18, through a post on the farm’s official Facebook page, indicating the owners’ decision to retire and embark on a new phase in their lives.
DixieMaze will host its final Fall Fest from September 27 to November 1, offering families a last chance to enjoy the cherished events that have become synonymous with the changing seasons in the Shreveport-Bossier area. In a gesture of appreciation to the community, tickets for the last season will be available at a 25% discount, allowing more families to partake in the festivities.
Over the years, DixieMaze has established itself as a beloved fixture in the local community, providing a rich array of enjoyable autumn activities. Visitors have been drawn to attractions such as the Scenic Pumpkin Express ride, an inviting pumpkin patch, thrilling corn cannons, and the nostalgic classic barn swing. The owners expressed their heartfelt gratitude for all the families who have visited, stating that their events have consistently celebrated community spirit, laughter, and shared joy.
The decision to close the farm after its final season marks the end of an era for DixieMaze, which has long been a cornerstone of seasonal celebration for countless residents and visitors. Many families have made lasting memories at the venue, whether picking pumpkins, embarking on hayrides, or participating in various activities offered each autumn.
The winding roads leading to DixieMaze will no longer be filled with the sounds of laughter and excitement once the final Fall Fest ends. The location is situated at 9596 Sentell Rd, Shreveport, LA.
In a related note, the community recently experienced another prominent change with the abrupt closure of Greenhouse Salad Company in August 2023. This healthy eatery, located at 7460 Youree Drive, Shreveport, LA, was known for its customizable salads and an extensive selection of dressings. However, just over half a year later, Greenhouse reopened in April 2024 after a temporary hiatus.
During its closure, the restaurant expressed its gratitude to customers for their support over the previous 13 months, fostering a loyal community following. This summer, the space will transition to a new establishment called Stacked and Tossed, which is scheduled to commence operations in June 2025.
The closure of both DixieMaze and Greenhouse Salad Company highlights a broader shift within the local landscape as beloved businesses adapt to changes while new ventures emerge. As DixieMaze invites families to celebrate their closing season and reminisce on cherished memories, it also reflects a recognition of the evolving nature of community businesses in the Shreveport area.
