We are Lighting the Square! Yes, at long last the Square will be lit at night. Thanks to funding from Entergy Corporation, The Downtown Development District, The General Services Administration's Good Neighbor Program and The Lafayette Square Conservancy, the three statues and the oaks in the four corner of the park will be lit. Please join us for the pre-lighting party at 625 St. Charles, 4th floor, on Wednesday September 8th at 6:00 pm for wine and h'ordeuvres by Mike's on the Avenue and Herbsaint Restaurant and then the "flipping the switch" ceremony on the steps of Gallier Hall at 7:30 pm. Where Ya Rack Dawlin.....? The YLC's program to install bike racks around the City has come to Lafayette Square. If you are interested in sponsoring a rack (or a few) go to whereyarack.org. If you're looking to park during the upcoming concert series, check out the racks at Camp Street near South and North Maestri Streets. Follow us on Facebook! We'll update you on events such as concerts, planting and cleanup days, social events and more!
