Louisville UnFair

Louisville UnFair Louisville UnFair is an inclusive and unconventional art festival supporting local artists. UnFair happens the first full weekend in October at Mag Bar.

The Louisville UnFair has grown to become the city’s favorite alternative art festival and is an institution in Old Louisville. Each year, the show returns to its home in the backyard of the Magnolia Bar and thousands come together to experience this unique event. Championing self-expression, the Louisville UnFair provides an inclusive and unconventional platform for local artists to showcase thei

r talents and to connect with the community. Originally created as a rebel art show for locals, by locals, the UnFair lifts marginalized artists in our community allowing them to push boundaries and fuel the city’s evolving art scene. While not as large as other traditional “white-tent” arts and crafts fairs, the eclectic mix of local art, loud music, and free expression provide an unmatched level of pure authenticity.
