Start on Fridays at the Sunset "Uncorked" Artwalk—when galleries along Napolean Avenue—including Artworks by Ted Bertrand, boho, The Funky Flea, and Jerilyn's Fused Glass Art Gallery—will be open for viewing and shopping, with many of the artists present to discuss their work. artists. Café Josephine will provide wine and hors-d'oeuvres at each gallery. 6 pm–9 pm. Free. (337) 662-6222. (Note: Uncorked Artwalk only takes place on the second Friday of even-numbered months). 

Saturday during the day, travel along the Arnaudville-Deux Bayous Cultural District, making time for special stops at The Hive Marketplace, The Kitchen Shop, and NUNU Arts & Culture Collective—where you're just as likely to find artists putting on demonstrations, workshops, or gathering to tell stories. At St. Luc French Immersion Cultural Campus, take part in cultural language and history tables, geneaology workshops, and tradition workshops like quilting. 

Then, make it back in time for Lafayette's grand ArtWalk downtown, showcasing the city's creative cultural district—including museums like the Acadiana Center for the Arts, craft stores, galleries, and various independent artists who all come out for the occasion.
