Downtown Becoming Merry & Bright Destination This Holiday Season

A full month of Christmas events and installations have been in the works in the Downtown district by the board and staff of Downtown Lafayette Unlimited (DLU).

The DLU is the organization behind Downtown Alive! They look forward to "A Merry & Bright Downtown Christmas" joining the ranks of Movies in the Parc, the Downtown Sno-Ball Festival, and the DTA! Kids Zone as they proceed in bringing more family friendly festivities to the downtown area.

Here's what to expect during the “A Merry & Bright Downtown Christmas" celebrations:

Events and activities will include a concert with Keith Frank and Pine Leaf Boys to kick off the Christmas season, a “Window Wonderland” of artist-curated storefront displays on Jefferson Street and throughout Downtown, and a “North Pole of Downtown” installation that will include giant walk-through ornaments, a 25 foot-tall Christmas tree, and a grove of live trees decorated by organizations, businesses, and others who want to contribute to making this holiday season “Merry & Bright” in Downtown Lafayette. Plus there is an array of other family-friendly and unique events that will fill the month of December.

“We are extremely excited to announce that DLU will contribute significant time, effort, and money towards providing another one-of-a-kind family-friendly experience,” said Jason Matt, President of Downtown Lafayette Unlimited. “Christmas is a wonderful season that brings together family and friends who spread cheer and give thanks for the many blessings we have. Thanks to continued support for Downtown by our community, through attending fundraisers like Downtown Alive!, it is now possible for us to make Downtown Lafayette your Christmas destination.”
