318 Day 2025
March 18 or 3/18 is 318 Day! Since 318 is the area code for north and central Louisiana, it is the perfect way to celebrate the area we live and work in. 318 was created as a social media campaign to promote the 318 and Monroe-West Monroe. There's a lot of great things happening in the 318! Join the conversation on March 18, 2025 and share the great things happening in the 318 on your social media pages.

Ways to Celebrate #318Day in Monroe-West Monroe
- Participate in Discover Monroe-West Monroe's 318 Day Time Capsule! Leave your mark on history! On March 18, we will bury a time capsule filled with responses from 318 community members, capturing all the reasons why we love Ouachita Parish. This isn’t just any time capsule - it’s set to be opened in exactly 31 years and eight months on November 18, 2056. Imagine future generations uncovering your thoughts and memories! Be a part of this legacy by attending the time capsule ceremony and sharing your love for the 318 area. Entries accepted March 1-14 OR until we've received 318 entries.
- Show off your artistic side with a Discover MWM's coloring sheet. Individuals can pick up the #318Day coloring sheet at the Visitors center or they can download it off the Discover Monroe-West Monroe website. Individuals can bring their finished sheet from March 18-20 to receive a small prize.
- Be the 1 Photo Op! Large "3" and "8" wooden numbers will be on display in Alley Park in West Monroe and Palace Park in Monroe. Stop by and be the "1" in the "318."
- Join us at the Discover Monroe-West Monroe office (601 Constitution Drive, West Monroe) on #318Day at 2:00 PM for a special press conference as we bury the 318 Time Capsule, enjoy cookies, and celebrate Ouachita Parish together!
