The largest international music fest in the United States begins tomorrow in Lafayette as Festival International de Louisiane starts a five-day fun that features music from over 20 countries. Marketing director Carly Viator says its free to attend.
Viator says to make things easier on fairgoers this year, they will issue electronic bracelets instead of selling tickets to buy drinks and merchandise. She says you can also link your bank card to your wristband.
The festival attracts 300-thousand people every year and has an estimated economic impact of 49-million dollars. Viator says there’s no other festival in Louisiana you can attend for free and hear music from across the globe.
