Butchertown Art Fair

It was nice to be back to the Butchertown Art Fair this year. It has a soft spot in my heart so I'll always make an effort to visit. As far as recommending it to others, it was small this year, both with vendor booths and food trucks. What was available is great to enjoy but I wouldn't want someone to be disappointed in how quickly you'd be in and out. There's great spots nearby to grab food or a cocktail, which I highly recommend and is part of enjoying the neighborhood. Come out and support local!

Annual summer craft festival. All local artist showing unique and traditional personally had made or flare you don't see every day. High quality items. Food trucks and live music. Mark your calendar for next June.

Outstanding diverse comfortable and inviting. What more can you ask for. A great event featuring some original artwork from local and talented artist.If you are looking for an original this is the place.Crowds can grow as the day gets longer so I'll recommend an early arrival.A variety of food and drink are available, a very good selection I might add. Love the neighborhood and totally enjoy visiting here yearly.You'll have to pay to park if you aren't sure of the roads that lead to the venue.Looking for your car in the dark on a road you can't remember parking on is a real buzz kill. Been there done that!Take some time to visit a true Louisville tradition, i bet you return!

This is my second year to attend this art fair and I will make it an annual visit. Although small only about 2 blocks it has quality artists and their wares. There is a true mix of artist mediums. There are plenty food options from food trucks and live music. Additionally there is plenty of seating along the 2 blocks if you want to sit and rest and people/dog watch. Yes it is dog friendly and there were plenty of pooches in attendance. Plenty of street parking within a couple of blocks of the festival. A plus is getting to look at the lovely old homes that line the street as you puruse the art. Fun outing. I highly recommend. And I found a great piece of wood art for my newly renovated bathroom

Our world is big. As such, it's tempting to take the easy way out and shop at big box stores when looking for art and home décor items. If you do this, however, you run the risk of missing out on all the talented local artists and artisans in Louisville (and the surrounding areas), and that would be a shame. The Butchertown Art Fair is a beautiful showcase of these individuals and their crafts. Metal work, wood work, fabrics, paintings, laser art - it's all here, in all price ranges. As an added perk, there are tasty local food vendors, drinks, and live music. Pretty much a great way to spend the weekend.

2017 was apparently the fair's eighth or ninth year. It is still a rather small festival. A couple blocks long.I like where it is located, the homes are lovely to look at and it is situated where there is ample parking fairly close by. There were some lovely and interesting things to see. Many things I have seen before at the Flea Off Market or the St James Art Fair or the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair....or or or...It is a nice addition to the abundance of art fairs Louisville is host to.I don't think I would have gone if it had just been up to me. But we did a quick walk through, I got a lightbulb cookie from the Thomas Edison House, so you know....I'm not mad at it.

Well I had a blast at this year's Butchertown Art Fair.* Ate at a food truck that I've never seen before.* Saw the biggest dog I've ever seen. (What is that dog's bowel movements like? I shudder to think.)* Discovered the Louisville Stompers Jazz Band.* Got some inspiration (and contacts) for art to put in my home.All in all, it's a small art fair. Cherokee Triangle and St James are much larger. But larger doesn't always = better. Butchertown is very cool. You can walk through it in 30 minutes. But if you slowly walk though, stopping at every booth along the way, you'll spend over an hour. Just the right size, really. Not overwhelming.As well, they have live music for you to listen to, a beer tent... It's a great place to spend an afternoon. Or, if you're actually looking to buy, head on down.

One of the best, neighborhood art fairs in Louisville! Eclectic mix of vendors, non-profit groups, and food vendors provide plenty to see, buy, and eat over the course of an afternoon. Despite the heat and constant sun today, visitors leisurely strolled down the Washington Street. There was plenty of room to stop and catch up with friends met along the way or check out the booths (& actually see things). Unlike Cherokee or St. James, where the crowds can be oppressive and prices are sometimes prohibitive, Butchertown is like the relaxed, younger sibling. Vendors that can't afford these big shows come out with fantastic, affordable finds.

Great art show! Small, but high quality art & art I haven't seen before. I will definitely return to this art show next year.BRG food truck offered excellent burgers & fries & even a veggie one made with a mushroom. My mushroom burger was delicious. Kimberle & Al said their beef burgers were excellent. I didn't have the Gourmet hot dog, but photographed one. It looked gooood.West 6 had three of their beers on tap. There were wine offerings & Ginger Beer. I believe these were brought by Copper & Kings. Louisville Tap had a booth with free cold water with cups or you could refill your own bottle for free. Thank you Louisville Tap.

Quality hand made arts and crafts by local and nearby artist. booths were well organize In a beautiful historic neighborhood sponsored event. Tasty Food from food trucks and fun live solo music artists and wine vendors in the center of festival. Beautiful paintings, jewelry, pottery, stain glass and much more.
