View Photo Gallery Celebrate Barksdale was initiated by the MAC and embraced by both Chambers of Commerce to express the community’s collective appreciation to the men and women who serve while stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base. Our annual Celebrate Barksdale picnic emphasizes outreach to spouses and children.
