Festival International held every year in downtown Lafayette, is known for celebrating music, culture, and artistic talent from around the world. It’s a festival worth attending, and LUS Fiber has made it even better!
Sharing your experiences with others in real-time – through photos, videos, tweets, or status updates – has become an enjoyed part of one’s social life. Unfortunately, with the many visitors that join us every spring in downtown Lafayette – with smartphones, tablets and multiple wireless devices in tow, cellular services may be strained, making it difficult to share your festival experience with family and friends.
Recognizing the need for Internet access, LUS Fiber has teamed with Festival International once again this year to create additional WiFi hotspots in downtown Lafayette. In addition to Parc Putnam, this year festival attendees will also be able to connect to WiFi throughout the festivities at Parc International and Parc Sans Souci, courtesy of LUS Fiber.
“Partnering with one of Lafayette’s signature festivals to provide a service that will improve the overall experience and allow attendees to share that event with the world, makes this a perfect fit for Lafayette’s only community-owned, fiber-optic network,” stated Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to support our community and at the same time enhance the overall festival experience for Lafayette and visitors from around the world than by offering complimentary, high-speed WiFi access,” said Terry Huval, Director of LUS Fiber. “Lache Pas La Patate!”
