The History of Downtown Alive!
Read about how Downtown Alive! came to be and how it continues to evolve today.
ArtWalk is a vibrant monthly event that takes place every second Saturday in Downtown Lafayette, Louisiana. This cultural showcase features exhibits, live music, theatrical performances, and immersive art experiences across various venues, including museums, independent galleries, studios, and shops. The event transforms Downtown into a bustling hub of creativity, offering attendees the opportunity to explore Acadiana's artistic talent in a lively and engaging atmosphere.
There is no one organization responsible for planning the activities. Instead, each museum, gallery, or studio hosts their own unique event, featuring local artists and performers. Follow the official ArtWalk Lafayette Facebook Page to stay informed on monthly events.
Downtown Lafayette is proud to partner with Lafayette Arts & Fleas in 2024. These partnerships allow community members to support Acadiana’s local artists and creators in our public parks Downtown.
Lafayette Arts & Fleas market can be found in Parc de Lafayette during ArtWalk from 5-8 pm and is a one-stop shop for locally made art, handcrafted goods, and curated vintage clothing. Booths include local makers, designers, artists, and collectors; all goods are handmade or vintage, with vendors ranging from hobbyists to professionals.
We are excited to be partnering with Lafayette Arts & Fleas for our events to highlight local talent! Additionally, we are always looking to bring new artisans and vendors to Downtown for ArtWalk or other various events and activities hosted by Downtown Lafayette.
