“That’s why we opened around the festival time because we know that it’s going to be busy in the streets,” Quin said.

Qin said having the Festival International in Downtown Lafayette will be beneficial for everyone to learn about different cultures.

“It’s very important since the economy is very diverse right now, especially in the U.S, and we’re trying to share that around down south,” Quin said.
