Film Noir Series – “The Postman Always Rings Twice”

Pandora Drag Volleyball Tournament

SUNDAY

Fresh Fest West Belvedere, 485 W. Main St. $40; 4 p.m. In case you forgot, hip-hop’s golden era was in the ’90s. But thankfully, Louisville’s own Fresh Fest is here to remind you. In an effort to preserve old-school hip-hop culture, Fresh Fest “combines the four elements of hip-hop culture: dance, art, deejaying and emceeing!” This year there will be performances by Rakim, Das Efx, Keith Murray, B-Boy crew KEF and the annual crowning of a new classic-rap-battle champion. Along with the usual good eats and drinks that come with any festival in Louisville, this is an event not to be missed.
