A portion of the event proceeds will benefit Love City, a Louisville nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the Portland neighborhood through relationships, service, and community building. Love City brings neighbors together by creating opportunities for connection, support, mentorship, and hope while empowering residents to serve one another through their unique gifts, their time, and a welcoming community gathering space.

“Fox Fest is about bringing people together through great music while supporting organizations making a real difference in our city,” said Jared Matthews, owner of The Fox Den. “We’re proud to partner with Love City and help support the incredible work they’re doing in Louisville.”

Come hungry! In addition to The Fox Den’s popular menu of bites and brews, FOX FEST will feature some of Louisville’s favorite street-style food trucks, serving up delicious eats throughout the day to keep concertgoers fueled from the opening act to the final encore.

Food lineup:

  • Tiny Taco Truck
  • Dub’s Delights
  • Ashley’s Burger Shack
  • Islander Noodles
  • Keep It Fresh Greens
  • Fox Hole’s Pizza & Subs

Festival-goers can expect an unforgettable day filled with powerhouse performances, great food, ice-cold beverages, billiards, and an energetic atmosphere celebrating Louisville’s music scene while supporting an organization that is making a lasting impact in the community.
