Lafayette, LA – The Lafayette Veterans Affairs Committee, in partnership with Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG), the Acadiana Veteran Alliance (AVA), and Moncus Park, invites the community to attend Salute to Service: An Afternoon in Moncus Park on Sunday, November 9, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

This free, family-friendly event celebrates Lafayette’s deep commitment to honoring the men and women who have served our nation.
