Description: On Saturday, January 10, 2009, Lafayette will host its annual Lafayette Quaker Oatmeal Festival. This community celebration is sponsored by the Quaker Oats Company and organized by Lafayette Community Events.

Twelve years ago, rolled oats put Lafayette on the national map. This was not because Lafayette was known as a major center for oatmeal production, but because downtown businesses, when faced with the newly constructed Highway 287 bypass, looked for a unique annual promotion of Old Town Lafayette that would bring visitors to the heart of town and raise awareness of downtown businesses during the slowest month of the year and established the Lafayette Oatmeal Festival. According to the festival’s major sponsor, Quaker Oats Company, the annual Lafayette Oatmeal Festival is the only one of its kind in the country. The festival has grown from 400 participants the first year to more than 3,500 participants in 2008.
