Over the past six years, the Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festivals have continually grown--artistically, conceptually, and in popularity. Each festival has produced record attendance and sales highs for the venues involved, routinely garnering capacity crowds in the thousands. This year presents the next logical phase in that growth, expanding to a 3-day, outdoor, camping, family friendly event, boasting 39 of our region’s favorite bands, 3 popular DJ’s, 5 talented artists, 3 interpretive dance troupes, and a plethora of activities for festival-lovers of all ages. Indoors and outdoors there are a total of three stages on Friday and Saturday, and one stage on Sunday. Each will be packed with popular music…reggae, rock, bluegrass, blues, funk, jazz, and much more. A complete lineup can be found on www.PeakSummit.com.
The annual festival’s past format has focused on using multiple, closely placed venues in Louisville’s bar districts, creating a mini-Bonnaroo atmosphere, but with two glaring exceptions—the lack of outdoor-camping and, and few (if any) family-friendly elements. This problem has been solved (!), thanks to a little-known venue that is only a 10-minute drive outside of Louisville.
The Rustic Frog sits on 5 acres of land, sandwiched between industrial complexes, nature preserves, and the Ohio River. It affords all the amenities of a camping/music festival, while being close enough to the city to run home, let the dog out, and take a shower. On site will be a sand-volleyball pit, horseshoe lanes, a bonfire, a variety of food vending, inflatable kiddie jumpers, a kiddie water-slide (kids, bring your bathing suits!)…and much more.
Complete lineup and other important information is available at www.PeakSummit.com or by calling the Peak Summit office at 502.599.7636, or e-mailing info@peaksummit.com.
This is a rain or shine event. No refunds. All artists are scheduling are subject to change.
I don't know many details, but apparently a 3 year old girl got into a car wreck and needs our help. A bunch of bands are putting on a show this Saturday at The Rustic Frog and the proceeds will be going to the family to help pay medical costs. Show starts at 7pm(I think) and its 10 bux at the door.
