Via Colori Kentucky is a festival in which hundreds of artists, community organizations, vendors, and partners come together to host the most creative festival in Kentucky. Over 140 artists participate with the intent of making artistic masterpieces on a large scale, directly on the sidewalks of Waterfront Park in Louisville.
We will have live music, vendors, family-friendly activities, bounce houses, a food court, cosplayers, and of course, street art.
This free, family and pet friendly festival is open to the public.
You can also sign up to be a vendor, artist, or volunteer. Girl Scouts who are a vendor, artist or volunteer will earn the custom Via Colori 2026 fun patch. Artist and vendor registration starts 02/28/2026 and ends when our spaces are full.
