Southern Happenings: Rad Fest 2024

Lafayette’s Radfest returns in September for the third year and promises to be better than ever with a stellar line-up and a new two-day format. The festival begins on September 20, 2024, at Feed N Seed in Lafayette, at 106 N. Grant Street, where four bands will take the stage for the night starting at 7:00 p.m. The second day of the festival will be on September 21, 2024 at Parc International in downtown Lafayette, and the music will kick off at 2:30 p.m.
