Louisville's Art Festival On The River

The Big Four Arts Festival has been the most attended (20,000) two-day Event ever held in Louisville at Waterfront Park on the Big Four Bridge Lawn. The weekend following Labor Day, the 7th annual festival, September 9th & 10th 2023, will be held on the lawn which consists of four acres of tree-lined walks overlooking the Ohio River, located at the Big 4 Walking Bridge. The Big 4 Walking Bridge has 25,000 people strolling it each weekend. The Festival is a two-minute drive from downtown Louisville and draws patrons from Southern Indiana as well as Louisville.

Such was the overall success of the Festival that Louisville’s Convention & Visitors Bureau presented the Rose Award to the Festival for an event that is bringing so much commerce to Louisville! Louisville’s Festival is known for its 150+ juried artists, EZ in-out access, spacious booth layouts, reserved parking for artists, and many artist amenities. With a proven multimedia campaign, we will produce record crowds again in 2023!
