Not Saint James.

October 4, 5, and 6 2024
Magnolia Bar • Old Louisville

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 their 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.

UnFair happens the first full weekend in October at Mag Bar. If you want more information, ask somebody rad or keep reading.

More than
just an art show. 

UnFair is more than an art show; it's an electrifying celebration of creativity, community, diversity and commitment. With our roots deeply planted in championing local talent, our mission is to provide an unconventional and inclusive platform for local artist to freely showcase and make money from their artwork. We do not charge artists to participate and they keep 100% of the money they make. We also extend our reach by supporting artists facing life's harshest challenges. Every year, dollars earned from the sale of UnFair merchandise are used to help local artists who find themselves in crisis. Everything that’s left is used to make sure that UnFair comes back every year.

As an officially registered nonprofit in Kentucky, you can feel good knowing that every dollar you spend at UnFair is going to support local artists.

Support the UnFair and support local art!
