Downtown Lafayette Unlimited kicks off the Fall 2025 season of Downtown Alive!, presented by Evangeline Maid, with the third annual Ragin’ Cajuns® Downtown Alive! This special edition is hosted in partnership with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and features live music from The Good Dudes.
The event will include on-site activations from UL Athletics, the UL Alumni Association, campus partners, and community vendors. UL students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the greater Lafayette community are invited to come together in celebration of our vibrant college town.
Downtown Alive! is considered Acadiana’s longest-standing free concert series. A tradition that once started as a way to drive foot traffic to the Downtown core has transformed into a celebration of the music and culture the district is known for. Downtown Alive!, Downtown Lafayette, and Evangeline Maid merchandise is available for purchase online and during all DTA! events. Proceeds from these merchandise go back to Downtown Lafayette to help continue keeping the DTA! tradition alive.
Please leave ice chests at home to help keep DTA! free to the public – grab a drink from the beverage tent and a bite to eat from food vendors and downtown restaurants.
