Lafayette is ALIVE!

For 27 years, Downtown Alive! (DTA!) has united community and culture to create a weekly tradition and celebration in Downtown Lafayette every Fall and Spring. The Spring 2011 season kicked off on March 11, 2011, offering once again, great entertainment in the form of free, family-friendly, smoke free, outdoor concerts. 

Renowned and up and coming musicians representing a variety of genres ranging from Cajun, Blues, Rock, Latin and more play music for these free shows.  DTA! begins at 5:30 p.m. with food and beverage concessions – musical performances from 6:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted. Concession sales help keep DTA! free, so please leave your ice chests at home with your pets.  For more information, visit www.downtownlafayette.org.  It’s fun for the whole family!

But downtown Lafayette has more to offer… A quick view of the dining options in downtown Lafayette tells a tale of a local culture that loves and celebrates food - whether in casual or fine dining settings.  In addition to down-home plate-lunch style establishments, downtown Lafayette is also a mecca for international cuisine, with Japanese, Cuban, Mexican and Greek choices a part of the scene.

Attractions to nightlife include a range of venues. You can visit sports bars, live music venues, clubs, dance halls or fine restaurant bars all downtown.  These venues are great for a night out with friends or just a romantic get-away.  Ether way you can’t go wrong coming to downtown Lafayette just minutes from the Homewood Suites Lafayette!
