The locally loved “Festival for the rest of us” returns for its 11th year on May 15-17th, this time at Jubilee Field.
According to co-founder, Butch Bays, the fest was founded as a reaction to the other festivals in Louisville. Poorcastl
e aims to be as cheap and local as possible, while supporting local musicians and vendors.
Poorcastle outgrew its original location, Apocalypse Brew Works, and felt that last year’s venue, Breslin Park came with some expense and size challenges. Jubilee Field is the in-between the organization was seeking. Bays called it the “field of dreams for Poorcastle Festival.”

Co-founder and Curator of Jubilee Field, Isiah Dietrich, explains that their mission is to “bring a multi-functional community space for organizations to throw events.”
Bays said he believes the location change will draw individuals that have never heard of or have never attended the fest.
Jubilee Field brings a new level of whimsy to the artistic and cultural Poorcastle. With an inside/outside bar filled with hidden details and a gallery for art installations, the field elevates the fest and provides a space that inspires attendees to move and play.
