Cool off in the AcA building, AKA the VIP Lounge, where VIP ticket holders will have a prime view of the main stage on Vermilion Street, complimentary food & drink, and the best restrooms around.

Double your fun – take advantage of University of Louisiana’s Homecoming Game  – also on October 21!! There will be a continuous, complimentary shuttle running between Cajun Field & Downtown Lafayette from 12:30 – 5:30pm. Geaux Cajuns!

Volunteer at Gulf Brew!

In it’s 15th year, Gulf Brew is AcA’s longest running (and most fun!) fundraiser.

Funds raised at Gulf Brew go towards our Arts in Education mission and directly impact over 39,000 students in Acadiana public schools.

As a volunteer you receive a number of perks: free t-shirt, complimentary ticket to Gulf Brew ($40 value), cool perks at the official afterparty at Blue Moon Saloon ($10 value) AND a chance to win a pair of ​AcA 2024 performing arts s​eries tickets of your choice (​~$540 value).

The highlight of Gulf Brew will be the coronation of the “King & Queen of the Brew,” two community leaders who have triumphed in a fundraising competition in support of AcA’s arts education mission.
