Downtown Unlimited is producing "Merry & Bright," a series of safe, family-friendly holiday events in Downtown Lafayette, sponsored by Coca-Cola.
The celebrations will include a Christmas tree decorating contest, a concert featuring Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, a competition for best holiday window display, a Candlelight Christmas featuring traditional carols, and a Movies In The Parc season finale.
Below is the complete schedule for the "Merry & Bright" series.
