About Us

The Friends of Downtown is a member-based, non-profit organization that promotes the vitality of Downtown Lafayette through exciting events and community partnerships. Since 1974, the group has worked to continuously improve local economic growth through encouraging success for the area’s small businesses.

 

Ten years ago, Ken McCammon and Steve Bultnick knew downtown had the same potential as other popular downtown destinations like Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They reached out to the Friends of Downtown to help implement their vision. With some brainstorming, the event, ‘Mosey Down Main Street’ was born. After their first Mosey was a huge hit, Ken and Steve joined the Friends of Downtown as President and Treasurer respectively.
