KICK-OFF + AFTER PARTIES
We like to start things off right every year with a KICK-OFF PARTY and we keep the music going late with AFTER PARTIES benefiting the
Lower Town Arts & Music Festival
The Yeiser Art Center
and Save the Columbia project.
Here’s what we have planned for 2019…
KICK-OFF PARTY
Thursday, May 16th, 4:00 – 9:00 pm

This year, we are kicking things off festival-style with a STREET PARTY on Broadway! We’re working with our friends working to save the Columbia Theatre to bring you a very special event that includes live music, food by CARTEL, Paducah beer by Dry Ground and Paducah Beer Werks.
