Second Fox Fest Set for Aug. 5
The 2nd Annual Fox Fest Parking Lot Party is happening Aug. 5 in St. Matthews at the Fox Den. It’s intent? To offer a substitute for the former St. Matthews Street Festival, which paused in 2020 and never returned.
"The St Matthews Street Festival was always so much fun,” Jared Fox, owner of the Fox Den and music promoter, said in a news release. “Every year more and more bands were hitting me up about playing that event bringing thousands to the streets and commerce. Talking to the St Matthews Chamber, I am not sure this event will ever come back — that's when I came up with the idea of Fox Fest.”
He said Fox Fest will continue to be an annual event featuring local artists, local food trucks and three music stages of music. A portion of sales will go towards Apron Inc., which is an organization that helps our service industry workers in times of need. The event is 2 p.m.-2 a.m., and gates open at 1:30. The outdoor portion of the festival is all-ages until 9 p.m.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 day of. Tickets can be purchased at the Venue.
