Downtown Lafayette's Merry & Bright Downtown Christmas kicked off Friday, which marked the beginning of this year's Christmas Tree Extravaganza, a tree decorating contest between families, businesses, and organizations from around Acadiana.
Trees are currently set up at Parc International, so while you're out safely enjoying the Merry & Bright Christmas festivities, make sure to find the KATC tree (along the fence of the Children's Museum). Then, please vote for our tree by clicking THIS LINK.
