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

Lafayette Music Fest

The Lafayette Music Fest is back for its second year in Old Town Lafayette. For decades, the City of Lafayette has been a haven for musicians of all styles and backgrounds, from Latin and jazz to hard rock and soul. This ticketed event is taking place from Saturday, October 7, at noon until midnight. One wristband will get you access to all twenty-four talented and diverse artists, such as Snakes & Stars, Hazel Miller, Gasoline Lollipop, and more. The musical artists will be performing at 6 different venues around Lafayette. You can part at one of Old Town Lafayette’s many public parking lots and then either walk to the venues, bike, or take the event-provided shuttle. You can learn everything you need to know, grab your tickets, and more by visiting the Lafayette Music Fest website and social media channels. We hope to see you there!
