A downtown district open for discovery

Here in Old Town Lafayette, we believe the best memories start with an impromptu journey.

Old Town Lafayette embraces discovery and diversity to create a place like no other. At every corner of our district, you’ll find a new sight to see and a new path to explore.

Founded in 1888, our town has a passion for breaking conventions. From alleyways of artwork to an eclectic mix of restaurants, museums, businesses, and attractions, our free-form style can serve every side of you, even the parts you haven’t discovered yet.

We’re a creative hub that embraces self-expression, but our heart is in the community we serve. From artists to artisans and small businesses to nonprofits, our urban identity is rooted in the people who call Old Town Lafayette home.

Things to Do

When you visit our unique downtown, discovery awaits. Whether you are a Lafayette local, out-of-town traveler, or day-tripper, you’re welcome to wander the attractions, activities, businesses, and artwork that make our district a destination like no other.

Upcoming Events

Featured Event

Old Town Lafayette’s Sunday’s are about to get deliciously fun.

When Peter and Margo moved to Lafayette, they saw an opportunity to build something local and lasting. With experience as vendors themselves—Peter, a longtime coffee roaster, and Margo, a former public school teacher turned beekeeper—they know what it takes to show up, set up, and connect with customers.

They’ve always believed that farmers markets can do more than sell food. They can support small businesses, bring neighbors together, and give people a reason to stick around and chat. That’s the kind of market they’re building here in Old Town Lafayette.
