Lafayette, LA – Downtown Alive! is proud to announce our Fall 2018 lineup. This fall marks the 35th anniversary of Lafayette’s beloved Friday night concert series.
The season features a stellar lineup with some of Acadiana’s best Zydeco bands, a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, blues-rocker Samantha Fish–a crowd favorite at this year’s Festival International, and an anniversary extravaganza with a group of legendary local artists.
Sponsored by Lafayette Coca-Cola, LUS Fiber, Teche Drugs, Lowry’s Printing, Townsquare Media, Delta Media, Event Rental, and Potty Girl, DTA! features performances representing a variety of genres: Rock, Cajun, Zydeco, Funk, Soul, and more. DTA! has once again partnered with the staff of Festival International for the 35th anniversary. With the two non-profits pooling resources and decades of collective concert experience, this is sure to be DTA!’s best year yet.
DTA! begins at 5 p.m. with the Happiest Hour, featuring a specialty drink from a different downtown bar or restaurant each week. Musical performances take place from 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM. The newly created DTA! Kids area will continue with free activities pro-vided by the Lafayette Science Museum, Children’s Museum of Acadiana, and the Lafayette Public Library.
Bring an appetite! DTA! Manger will continue to provide a variety of local food vendors to give you some delicious fuel for the dance floor. Concession sales help keep DTA! free, so don’t be a mooch and buy DTA! hootch. Please leave your ice chests at home with your pets. DTA! Is a smoke-free and family friendly event.
