Friends, Family, Community and the Magic of Live Music

For three or four hours, nine summertime friday evenings, life is just like it should be. Babies don’t cry, dogs don’t bark, and wise elders feel nineteen again. The Muse visits the musicians pretty much every night and dances when the spirit moves her. We don’t know why this all happens here, we’re just glad it does.

Great American Music 2011

  • June 10 CJ Chenier

    Straight from New Orleans it’s the Real Zydeco Deal—CJ and the Red Hot Louisiana Band tore it down last year and are sure to have the Steinbaugh hoppin’ again.

  • June 17 Little Feat

    Hello Street Faire friends and family. Little Feat in little ol’ Louisville. Crazy, right? Let’s make it crazy cool. Come ready to dance and have fun, but also come ready to be kind and mellow with your fellow music lovers—’cause there’s going to be a lot of us.

    Peace. The Street Faire Staff.

    Pure. Talent. More of that Louisiana vibe that seems to work so well at the Faire—Tab Benoit brings his take on the blues—from deep in his soul directly to Historic Downtown.

    They call the Steinbaugh “home.” Join 5000 of your closest friends for a magical evening with Jock Bartley and the timeless tunes of this legendary Boulder band.

    If you’ve seen him, you know—if you haven’t—it’s time. Hamilton is flat out amazing—taking the Bo Diddley Beat right to your feet. Let’s dance.

    Straight from N’awlins and back by popular demand, Marcia and her smokin’ hot band are making their third consecutive appearance at the Faire.
