Marquis Dad Lafayette
A Community for New Dads

Hosts : Ben + Atlas
Ben is a new Dad figuring it out in real time.
After welcoming his son Atlas, he quickly learned that fatherhood is equal parts incredible and overwhelming — sometimes within the same hour.
Marquis Dad Lafayette isn’t a program or a class.
It’s just a place for Dads to show up, talk honestly, and not feel like they’re the only ones winging it.
New dad life can feel incredible… and completely overwhelming.
One minute you’re proud beyond words. The next you’re running on no sleep, juggling new responsibilities, and wondering if everyone else somehow got a manual you missed.
You’re not alone.
Marquis Dad Lafayette is a casual community for new Dads in Lafayette and the surrounding area who want connection without pressure.
No therapy circle. No awkward icebreakers. No commitment.
Just real conversations with other Dads going through the same season of life.
What We Do
Marquis Dad Lafayette hosts relaxed, informal hangouts for Dads and their babies.
We meet at places like:
- The Craft Place
- Local breweries
- Neighborhood walking trails
- Other casual spots around Lafayette
You show up with your baby. Grab a drink if you want one.
Talk about sleep schedules, blowouts, work-life chaos, or whatever’s on your mind.
Then head home feeling a little more grounded than when you arrived.
Who It’s For
This group is for Dads with babies born in 2025 or 2026.
Keeping babies roughly the same age helps spark stronger conversations and deeper connections — because you’re navigating similar milestones at the same time.
This isn’t about exclusion. It’s about shared experience.
What to Expect
Casual. Come as often or as little as you’d like. Free to attend. Adult beverages available. RSVP
Why This Exists
Becoming a Dad changes everything.
It’s one of the best things you’ll ever do — and one of the hardest.
Marquis Dad Lafayette exists so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Pull up a chair. We’ll see you at the next hangout.
