“Downtown Alive! is excited to be partnering with Lafayette Consolidated Government and Lafayette Utilities System for this special edition Bicentennial Celebration of Local Palooza," says Anita Begnaud, CEO of DLU and DDA. "What better way to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of Lafayette Parish than with the best of Acadiana’s Cajun and Zydeco musicians, all on one stage.”
What began in 1983 as an effort to bring the community together on an ongoing basis is still thriving 40 years later. As Louisiana's longest-running free outdoor concert series, DTA! celebrates music, culture and downtown as a welcoming, creative, diverse and active city center, says Anna-Laura Edmiston, DLU Director of Strategic Communications.
Downtown Alive! presented by Evangeline Maid would not be possible without the support of additional sponsors including Lafayette Consolidated Government, Lafayette Utilities System, LUSFiber, KRVS, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette Travel, b1 Bank, Super 1 Foods, Acadiana Security Plus, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Louisiana Cultural Districts and the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development.
