For over three decades Downtown Alive! (affectionately known as DTA!) has been bringing the party to Downtown Lafayette. The concert series began in 1983 as small street party in a failing downtown. Now DTA! concerts are attended by thousands of concert-goers and Downtown Lafayette has taken on a new life as the center for great food, live music, arts and culture, and incredible events.

DTA! provides FREE live music for all ages on 12 Fridays per year. Spanning genres from Cajun and Creole to Indie Pop, Rock, Soul, Country, Folk, and RnB—DTA! is an event for music lovers of all kinds.
