Marc Broussard to Celebrate 20 Years of ‘Carencro’ at Downtown Rising in Lafayette

Downtown Rising is gearing up to mark its 5th anniversary in a grand style, spotlighting Lafayette's own Marc Broussard. The event, set to take place at Parc International on Friday, September 27th, 2024, will honor 20 years since the release of Broussard's debut album, “Carencro,” named after the place right outside of Lafayette where he grew up.

Doors will swing open at 5 pm for a night that will be a journey through 20 years of melodies, memories, and that magic that comes together when one of our own comes home to share the stage with the rest of our local talent. Speaking of that talent, Downtown Rising a line-up that features the North Mississippi Allstars, Lost Bayou Ramblers, DJ Digital, and RV—a little bit of something for everyone.

Another highlight of the night will be the secret Downtown Rising After-Party. Presented by Fete du Void, the after-party promises an exclusive performance by The Iceman Special, adding an extra layer of exclusive excitement to the festivities.
