SHREVEPORT, La. ( KTAL/KMSS ) – Fatty Arbuckle's ushers in the holiday season with a temporary new look as The Shreveport Ski Lodge .

The favorite Red River District hangout will become a pop-up holiday bar from Thanksgiving night, Thursday, November 28th, through Sunday, January 5, 2025.

"The dark hue of the interior of Fatty's already lends itself to a classic ski lodge look that you might find in northern parts of the United States, so we thought it would be fun to create this kind of atmosphere here for the holidays," Boytim said.

The decor will include silver tinsel, plaid wallpaper, lights, antlers on the walls, ski poles, and enlarged classic historic downtown Shreveport snow photos supplied by Twin Blends Photography. The Shreveport Ski Lodge will be open every day from 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
