Fête de la Terre week is UL Lafayette's Office of Sustainability annual celebration of the Earth and it was started in 2012, and it is filled with all sorts of fun events! Typically the week's events include a litter clean up, a night hike at the Nature Station, a coulee debris installation, sustainability tours, various types of recycling and upcycling events, and more all culminating with our biggest event of the year - the Fête de la Terre Expo.

The Expo is held at the corner of St. Mary and Hebrard Blvd. and will have free jambalaya served in compostable products, music, and host local organizations, businesses, and non-profits who are committed to a more sustainable Acadiana and Louisiana. Join us the week of earth week in April to celebrate the earth and learn more about the environment and sustainably! The Fête de la Terre Expo will be on Friday, April 19th from 10:30am - 1pm.

This year we are thrilled to announce the 1st Annual Louisiana Sustainability Summit! The summit will be held from April 10-12 at UL Lafayette as the University’s kick-off event to the Fete de la Terre Earth Week Celebration. The Summit will educate attendees of the resources and advancements in sustainability-focused work that exist state-wide. Topics such as environmental justice, coastal resilience, renewable energy, and waste management will be primarily discussed.
