LAFAYETTE PARISH — The Festival of Life is coming to the Hub City, bringing a two-day outreach event aimed at community engagement, ministry, and family activities in the parking lot of The Hub — previously the Northgate Mall — on April 18 and 19.
Organizers James and Candy Battey with JCRevival Ministries told KATC the festival, which originated in Baton Rouge and has also been held internationally, is focused on giving back to the community and sharing faith-based outreach efforts.
The free event will include food, activities for kids, live entertainment, giveaways, and family-friendly attractions. The Batteys said highlights will include kid zones, inflatables, snow cones, popcorn, and nightly giveaways such as cars, bicycles, electric bikes, toys, and free meals. They told KATC everything is designed to be free to attend and open to the public.
Activities kick off at 5 p.m. on Saturday. More information is available at the event’s official website.
