Summary
The council approved the Round the Fountain Art Fair's May 23, 2026 street-closure request and granted use of the Plaza on May 15 for Bike Month/Bike to Work Day, following presentations from event representatives.
The Lafayette City council approved two special-event requests: the Round the Fountain Art Fair and a Bike Month/Bike to Work Day Plaza use.
Katie Westfall, representing Round the Fountain Art Fair, asked the council to approve the nonprofit festival on Saturday, May 23, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with proposed street closures (Main Street between 2nd and 4th, 4th Street between Columbia and Ferry, and 3rd Street between Columbia and Ferry) to accommodate more than 80 booths. Westfall said she submitted the special event property-use application and had coordinated with Captain Joe Clyde on the map. The council moved, seconded, and approved the request by voice vote.
A representative identified as Miles from Economic Development requested use of the Plaza on May 15 for Greater Lafayette Bike Month and Bike to Work Day; the council approved that special-event request by voice vote as well. No conditions, permit fees, or detailed traffic-control plans were recorded in the transcript.
