The story
Garvin Gate Blues Festival in Louisville
The Garvin Gate Blues Festival is a free outdoor blues music festival held in the Old Louisville neighborhood, typically in late October, featuring local and regional blues musicians performing on a street stage for a neighborhood crowd. It is a community-organized event rooted in Old Louisville's historic district identity.
Old Louisville is one of the largest surviving Victorian-era neighborhoods in the United States, developed in the late nineteenth century and centered around grand homes and tree-lined courts that have since been preserved as a historic district drawing both residents and tourists.
