“Yes Virginia, there is a Street Faire”
New Street Faire Manager Jennifer Grathwohl took the reigns in February and we’re so excited about the 2016 Street Faire this summer. A Louisville resident, Jennifer brings over 10 years of special event management experience as well as an abundance of energy and drive to the job. This year, we’ve reduced the number of concerts from 9 to 7 and will have our usual diverse mix of new and returning acts. Our goal is to maintain and preserve the unique experience only the Louisville Street Faire has to offer. So join us for another terrific Street Faire season and rest assured, the Street Faire goes on! We’ll see you down there.
In other news, the Downtown Business Association welcomes new members Ciel Lawrence, Mike Crowe, Fran Ryan, Justen Stauffer, Patrick Walsh, MaryLynn Gillaspie and Jeff Lucas. We’ve got lots of new talent and vision to help us continue our efforts to promote and enhance Downtown Louisville.
