Annual Cultural & Art Events

Throughout the year, the City of Lake Charles is involved with planning and assisting several Arts & Cultural events.  Be sure to check the City's Events Calendar for specific event dates.
 
Louisiana Crossroads
Louisiana Crossroads is a concert series that is held in the fall months at the Central School Theatre. Crossroads is a branch of the Acadiana Arts Council and the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, and is broadcast live on the local NPR affiliate, KRVS 88.7FM . Crossroads travels all over the state bringing musicians of all genres to perform in front of live audiences. Many compare the Louisiana Crossroads series to the popular Texas program, Austin City Limits. Louisiana Crossroads can be heard over the radio throughout the entire state, portions of Texas and Mississippi and worldwide via the internet.
