Festival International de Louisiane strives to be the premier international festival known for bringing a variety of unique and emerging music artists to Southwest Louisiana. The Festival is committed to maintaining the venue as a free, community supported event. In addition to the music offering, the event also features workshops, dance and theater as well as other artistic disciplines. The family-oriented event is held each year in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana on multiple permanent as well as temporary stages. Our audience, comprised of local as well as global patrons, is loyal and returns each year to enjoy 100+ free concerts over multiple days. The organization also coordinates promotion and production of other venues and events.
