Downtown Alive!

Downtown Lafayette comes alive with a series of outdoor concerts for the entire family. Still going strong after more than 20 years, Downtown Alive! remains a primary fundraising event for Downtown Lafayette Unlimited and the biggest and best downtown tradition. It's also a favorite Friday evening event for thousands of locals and visitors each spring and fall season. Downtown Alive! starts at 5:30 p.m. with the music starting at 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Downtown locations vary each week.
