EDITOR’S PICK
The Butchertown Art Fair, held annually during the first weekend in June, has become one of the neighborhood’s signature traditions, blending art, music and local culture against a backdrop of 19th-century homes in one of Louisville’s oldest neighborhoods.
Festivalgoers can also listen to live music performances, enjoy local food trucks, beer, wine and cocktails all weekend long, alongside artist booths.
Organizers are also incorporating a new interactive element this year – a live painting class on Saturday, given by a local artist.
