The Iroquois Amphitheater is the place to be this weekend as a great tradition returns to Metro Louisville.  The 39th Kentucky Music Weekend will get underway with three days of music and artists from all over the country on Friday July 25th, Saturday July 26th an Sunday July 27th.

“If you have never attended this great music festival, you don’t know what you have been missing,” says Councilman Dan Johnson (D-21). “Not only can you sit back and enjoy good music but if you are an amateur musician and would like to play or learn how to play better, then you can join in at the Jamming tent or under the trees and be part of the great music.”

Johnson is again the major sponsor of the event and has been for many years. The Louisville Dulcimer Society also continues to be a sponsor along with Kentucky Music Week, Inc., the Iroquois Amphitheater and Metro Parks.

"Many may not know it, but in 2000, the Kentucky Music Weekend was voted the “Premiere Folk Festival” of Kentucky by the Kentucky General Assembly,” says Dan Johnson. “Come join us this weekend and you will agree this event deserves and lives up to that distinction.”
