Downtown Alive!
Lafayette’s Original Street Party – Since 1983

This fall, Downtown Lafayette Unlimited wraps up its 40th year of Downtown Alive!, presented by a longstanding downtown business, Evangeline Maid. Promoting the city center’s food, music, culture, and commerce — DLU proudly kicks off weekends in Acadiana and thanks the community for its support of this well-known tradition.
The entire community is invited to enjoy free, live music at DTA! in Downtown Lafayette this fall! Music starts at 6:00 p.m. and concludes at 9:00 p.m. Please leave ice chests at home to help keep DTA! free to the public – grab a drink from the beverage tent and a bite to eat from food vendors and downtown restaurants. Most importantly, don’t forget to support local small businesses while downtown!

HOW DOWNTOWN STAYED ALIVE
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Downtown Alive! first went virtual during the Spring 2020 season. The DTA! House Sessions, a series of online, stay-at-home Friday night concerts. After the success of the House Sessions series, DTA! once again went virtual for the Fall 2020 season. Combined, these seasons reached over 200,000 people and kept the community entertained — and safe. Now we are so excited to move back to our traditional format in-person and in the community. Join us every Friday night in March and September for the traditional Downtown Alive!
