Downtown at Sundown 2018: Highlights of Lake Charles' Premier Free Concert Series

Nothing beats relaxing on a Friday evening in downtown Lake Charles as live music from top bands fills the air against a stunning sunset. Better yet, enjoy four consecutive weeks of these free outdoor concerts.

Downtown at Sundown is a beloved event blending vibrant nightlife, diverse cuisine, local art, and family-friendly entertainment. Picture a lively street fair atmosphere: stroll from art vendors to food trucks, then settle in for an exceptional live performance.

This year's lineup is exceptional. The series kicks off on May 18 with The Tugboats, followed by Rusty Metoyer & Zydeco Krush on May 25, Lost Bayou Ramblers on June 1, and wraps up with Flamethrowers on June 8.

While the music shines, the food scene steals the show. Downtown restaurants join forces with food trucks offering soul-satisfying options like seafood and boudin tacos, juicy hamburgers with onion rings, smoked BBQ ribs, and Chinese fried rice. Don't miss sweet treats such as snocones and popsicles to cool off as the evening heats up.

As the sun sets, downtown Lake Charles comes alive. For more details on Downtown at Sundown, visit www.visitlakecharles.org/events-festivals/downtown-at-sundown.
