Springtime in Louisiana is exciting. Crawfish are in season, there is Festival International anticipation and it's right before we begin bracing ourselves for the oppressive heat of summer. One of the best features of spring has to be that every Friday we have the opportunity to hear free live music in the park for the Bach Lunch Series.

One of the best features of spring has to be that every Friday we have the opportunity to hear free live music in the park for the Bach Lunch Series.
Bach Lunch is hosted by the Lafayette Science Museum. Various restaurants take turns offering lunches for under $10. Proceeds go to support the museum. The lunches always take place in Parc Sans Souci. In case of a rain-out check our site. Here is the Spring 2012 series line-up:
