Reasonable rates by the hour and super convenient walk from there to the festival. It runs over Labor Day weekend, Friday-Monday. The schedule is nicely booked for music and performances to represent various cultures. In between is often a DJ spinning music. I noticed two staging areas this year. The crowd was busy this year. A lot of booths and food vendors packed into the space. A little overwhelming, as I was hoping for a more relaxing atmosphere to sample food and browse booths. Also less restaurant participants than I remembered from the past years; and much of the space was replaced with margarita stations or cocktail bars.

These businesses are local and offer products that are right up my alley! Local farms with grass fed beef and options that are better than what we have at those commercial chains.

Yelp was here and with a check in you earn a few reusable grocery bag. This came in great use today! I will keep this bag in my trunk to use when I attend other events like this. This was my first time at this venue and I have to say I love the open are courtyard feel! Looks like a fun place to visit in evenings too! Will be back soon for a tour!

Wow. This was a great local event…read more My fiance and I were wasting time, I mean, spending time together before we had to tend to some wedding planning stuff and we found ourselves at Copper & Kings on a brisk Saturday afternoon. I had never been to Copper & Kings, I only called them once about their venue space and then stared longingly while shopping at Work the metal, so it was a two treats in one! The outside space was filled with booths and vendors, all local and mostly Butchertown based. The Yelp booth was ready to greet visitors handing out much needed gloves and sunglasses in trade for a check-in. You know we did it. There were food trucks and coffee, and ice cream, and beer and soda, and hot sauces & jams, and bacon, and tacos. The list is endless. We tend to 'split' things so we can try more of everything so we went all in. We stopped at Johnny's Diner Car where a friend of ours greeted us with a smile, and pork buns. Can you say OMG?! They were little steam buns packed with pork belly, bacon greens and pork rinds sprinkled on top... my mouth is watering thinking about them. We also got some truffle Parmesan fries which were fantastic as well. Our venturing then took us to the top part of the event where we met several locally owned establishments that were greeting us with samples and pamphlets. We couldn't try everything, but that didn't stop us from trying. We had two handmade sodas, a taco from Decca and we left with 2 scoops of icecream from Louisville Cream #savages, ha. Needless to say the event was fun and filling for a nice Saturday afternoon. We ended up walking off our splurges as we found ourselves at the Flea off Market for a pit stop and walk. But we will be back as long as Butchertown businesses are going, we will be there to support them. You should too!

I…read morethink I've been 3 out of the 4 past years, despite some not-so-great weather the past couple years. You really can't beat the neighborhood; I always love seeing the homes in scenic Old Louisville. This festival is situated in the middle of it all on 1st Street. There are all sorts of vendors--the neighborhood association, artists, local businesses, food trucks, and more. There are also a number of food trucks. I've bought clothes, jewelry, greeting cards, and food here over the years. There's also live music both days, as the fair is typically Friday and Saturday. I think they also have a kids zone on the Saturday with bouncies and so on. This year we got a free bottle of Juicy Juice teasers and had a very bizarre encounter with a man. (Thankfully police were nearby on the latter... Way to go with security, OLSF!) I'll be back!

St Rita Summer Picnic is a yearly Catholic Church picnic that traditional runs the 3rd Thursday,…read moreFriday and Saturday of July with Thursdays being a ride night only and Friday and Saturday featuring the whole picnic. As an actual parishioner of this church I've attended this picnic since a young child and been to over 30 picnics and I've actually worked/volunteered at the picnic since my 7th grade year and for over 25 years. As mentioned Thursday is strictly a ride night. In the past they have had carnival rides but recently they have switched over to inflatables. They usually charge $15 an armband and you have unlimited usage on the inflatables. They offer the this same package during the picnic on Friday and Saturday nights. The picnic itself consist of place a dime on a number and spin a wheel type games for prizes from booths such as cake, plants, fruit, and toys. They also have booths and games aimed for younger kids such as duck pond, 4 in a row, sand art and even have a used book sale located inside the church. The picnic also features a beer garden out on the baseball field that offers beer tickets (usually $4 a ticket) gambling options like showdown poker, over/under dice game, big 6 and pull Tabs. Food wise they usually have a few carnival style food trucks that offer pizza, pretzels and nachos. They also have a sandwich booth worked by volunteers that sells fish sandwiches, brawts, hotdogs and French fries. Their is a super popular Mexican street corn/elote booth and a taco and fajita booth that is really tasty. To add even more to the great food options the picnic on Saturday only from 4pm-730pm have a chicken dinner inside the gym. This is extremely popular and usually on Saturday at 4pm the ticket line is wrapped around the whole Picnic. Tickets are $13 adult and $10 and you get two big pieces chicken, with unlimited sides featuring noodles, cole slaw, cucumber salad, green beans and tomatoes. It also features unlimited refills of tea, water or lemonade and a ticket for an ice cream. The dinner is worked by the parish members kids and they always work real hard and take care of the customers. The reason the line is so long is they chicken and sides are great. Very filling and tasty meal. Overall a very fun and busy picnic. Friday nights are the more mild nights as Saturday's can get jam packed crowded. Very popular picnic in the area and many refer to it as an okolona (community it is located in) reunion. I'm a bit biased being a long time visitor and worker but me and several others have made very fun and life long memories over this 2-3 day picnic.
