NuLu
Fest
For the 16th year, NuLu will host its well-known street festival, NuLu Fest, celebrating the continued growth and revitalization of Louisville’s East Market Street District.
This event takes place in the 600 to 900 blocks of East Market Street from 11:00am-8:00pm on Saturday, September 19, 2026!
Enjoy live music, regional micro-brewed beers, bourbons, and numerous food and retail booths by local vendors. There are activities for all ages.
The event is free, family-friendly and open to the public.
We are a FREE festival for you to enjoy all the activities and music. Many local businesses throughout NuLu will be featuring sales and specials for you to explore.
Vendors are set up and many will be selling their locally or regionally handcrafted items. Food and drinks will be available at a number of locations. Beer, wine, and cocktails will be available for cash or credit card. ATMs will be set up throughout the festival.
There are several side streets in the area that have free parking on the weekend as well as surface lots. Please be sure to check the meter before leaving your car to be sure payment is not needed. Some surface lots will require payment.
PLEASE NOTE:
For the safety and comfort of all guests, we strongly recommend leaving pets at home. Large crowds, loud noises, and high temperatures can create a stressful and potentially unsafe environment for animals.
Only service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are permitted. All service animals must remain on a leash and under the handler’s control at all times.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us create a safe and enjoyable festival experience for everyone.
