Located in one of the oldest neighborhood of Louisville, and set against the backdrop of historic homes from the late 1800s below a canopy of trees, the Butchertown Art Fair returns June 4 and 5.

Featuring handcrafted artwork from more than 60 artists, the fair is an annual landmark event that takes place on the first weekend in June and showcases diverse, high-quality artists from throughout the region and beyond. Complementing the art with Louisville's best food trucks, top-notch beverage selections, and the classic tree-canopied ambiance of Franklin and Campbell Streets, the Butchertown Art Fair celebrates the historic identity of the Butchertown neighborhood and sustains the identity of the neighborhood through the funds it generates.

The art show usually takes place on the 800 and 900 blocks of E. Washington Street, but due to construction taking place on that block, this year's art show will take place on the 800 and 900 blocks of Franklin Street. Saturday hours are 10 a.m.-7pm and Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Proceeds from the Butchertown Art Fair directly benefits community development and preservation of the historic Butchertown neighborhood. Each year the event also select a local nonprofit organization, using the art fair and other neighborhood events as a venue to raise awareness and resources for a good cause.
