The Local Village Before the My Morning Jacket Concert
Friday, October 29th
Prior to the My Morning Jacket show this Friday at the KFC Yum arena there will be a Local Village set up to showcase some of the unique aspects of Louisville.
"We always want our hometown shows to be more of a celebration of Louisville than anything else, explains MMJ drummer Patrick Hallahan. Some of Louisville's greatest resources are its independent businesses and non-profit organizations. Please come out and join these groups at the local village to celebrate all things Louisville."
The village will be set up from 3 until 8pm under the south end of the 2nd Street Bridge. Washington Street will be closed to traffic from 6 to 8pm to allow concert-goers the opportunity to enjoy alfresco food and drink from Patrick OSheas. Anyone who makes a donation or purchase at the village will receive a coupon for a $1.00 discount from the Pub.
Participants include: WFPK Radio Louisville
The Louisville Ballet
The Louisville Youth Orchestra
Louisville Grows
Rainbow Blossom
Americana Community Center
Kentuckians For The Commonwealth
