The music takes over the downtown merchant's parking lot on the corner of Ryan and Broad Streets on four consecutive Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m., surrounded by tabletop art galleries, kid-friendly activities, and food booths for downtown eateries.

The event is kid-friendly and free. In addition, there are food trucks, beer, and wine booths. This summer, don't forget to pack your lawn chairs and take in some live music! Downtown At Sundown takes place at the 1000 block of Ryan Street in Downtown Lake Charles.

A different local or regional artist plays beloved music genres such as Swamp Pop, Cajun, Zydeco, and Classic Rock at each concert. A combination of well-known and up-and-coming musicians make up this year's band selection, which is sure to get the audience moving.

Before or after the concert, you can enjoy your time at any of the many bars and restaurants located in downtown Lake Charles. The Villa Harlequin, Pujo Street Cafe, MacFarlane's Celtic Pub, Tia Juanita's, Laguna's Mexican Grill & Cantina, Panorama Music House, 1910, Luna Bar & Grill, and OB's Bar & Grill are all close by.
