It's Time For Fall Festivals!

By Michelle Matthews Calloway

Though the rest of the country is familiar with the standard four seasons of the year, those of us who are blessed to live in Acadiana have a season that our fellow Americans don’t share: Festival Season! From September through December, we are privileged to experience an eclectic range of festivals from which to choose. From weekly concerts in downtown Lafayette to paddle racing down the Bayou Teche in canoes, kayaks and pirogues, we know how to live life to the fullest and “pass a good time.”

Downtown Alive!

DTA! begins at 5:30 p.m. with food and beverage concessions and musical performances from 6-8:30 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 and a full Fall 2014 Schedule, visit downtownlafayette.org/.
