The plan is to build a 67-foot diameter disco ball which will be donated to the city of Louisville for display at events like Forecastle. Tony and the Tanlines, among others, will be providing the live music. There will also be a dance off contest and a best dressed competition.The Butchertown Get Down: “8 Mile” with Dwight Johnson Play 1101 E.
