The city of Lafayette has teamed up with Festival Internationale and le Centre International de Lafayette to put together a benefit concert for Haiti.
The concert, which is being called "L'Union fait la force," or strength in numbers, will be held Saturday, from 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. at Parc International in Lafayette.
This week, several local businesses downtown provided an added boost to the concert and it's cause. Guamas, The Office, The Green Room, City Bar Downtown and Tsunami have all pledged to donate 5% of their earnings on Saturday to relief efforts in Haiti.
Tickets to the concert can be purchased at the gates Saturday and cost $10 each. Nearly all the proceeds will be divided amongst the American Red Cross, United Way, Southern Development Foundation, Art Creation Foundation for Children, and Doctors Without Borders.
Here's the lineup for L'Union fait la force:
2:00-2:45, Givers
3:00-3:45, Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie w/Special Guest Steve Riley
4:00-5:15, Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole
5:30-6:45, Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars w/Special Guests Sonny Landreth and Buckwheat Zydeco
7:00-7:40, BelO (Haiti) (solo)
7:40-close Louisiana All-star Jam w/BelO.
