Louisville, KY– The 10th Annual Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festival will descend upon “Arena Row” on Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20 from 8 p.m. to – 3 a.m. each night. A grand finale after party will take place Sunday, August 21 at Headliners Music Hall at 8 p.m.
This year’s line-up presents a cross-section of popular dance music (from fully acoustic to fully electronic) with over 25 acts on six stages at four Main Street venues next to the KFC Yum! Center.
In addition to music and comedy, this festival honors the launch of Black & Grey Magazine with a runway/fashion show and celebrity/model appearances. Also featured is a 40-artist visual exhibit, curated by Andy & Kelly Cook, Bill McAvinue and Tim Faulkner Gallery.
“This event has seen great success in other locations, so we’re thrilled to work with Main Street businesses this time around,” says event producer Myron Koch. “The vibrant energy of downtown Louisville’s arts & entertainment district is unmatched in any other part of the state. There are so many neighboring galleries, venues, and restaurants down there that a Peak Summit Festival will feel right at home.”
The festival will showcase all local/regional entertainment, including new-fame acts like Vessel, Booty Sweat and Canago, Louisville staples like Edgehill Avenue and WFPK’s DJ Matt Anthony, and a few tribute bands.
There will also be a cornhole tournament at Main Street Tavern, appearances by Variety Show artist Divinity Rose, a “mystery stage” at BBC (featuring un-scheduled surprise acts), art exhibits at Bearno’s and Impellizzeri’s, comedians between acts, an all acoustic stage in BBC’s newly swanked-out VIP lounge, and much more.
Tickets cost $20 for a 3-day pass. The pass includes admission to all concerts (including the after party) all weekend. For more up-to-date information and to purchase tickets, visit www.peaksummit.com.
