Cherokee Triangle Art Fair

I love this little festival. I enjoy walking around and looking at all the cool things people have made. There are many vendors that are pretty pricey but also things for people like me without a thick wad of cash to just spend on something frivolous and pretty. I always end up with something. Last year it was a kick ass mug with cats in period attire… I bought the matching mouse pad this year and got my dad a cedar carved wooden bear that holds a sign that either says «welcome» or «go away» for Father’s day. He’ll love it and will probably keep it in «go away»! :) My bf got his mom something similar with her dogs name on it and she loved it. I detest Bluegrass music but if I’m outdoors walking around in this area and it’s pretty out its all good with me. To top it off you get a yummy brat. Now if they just sold Ginger beer! :)

A street art fair just right down the street from my apartment? Heck yeah I will go! I felt there was a pretty good selection of types of art here, with wide range of prices. I found a really funky flower crown headband that I used as a fascinator for Derby. As this art fair wasn’t huge, there as a decent size food area, more than I would have expected along with some sweet treats like Steel City Pops. I will for sure be back next year.

The Cherokee Triangle Art Fair is another fun event during Kentucky Derby festivities. It is hosted in the beautiful, unique Highlands and over the years has attracted more vendors. It’s not too small, not too large, but just right. Visitors can easily stroll through the booths and speak to the artists — and feed cravings with a strong food, dessert and drinks selection.
For families, a Kids Area is available that (for a small fee) allows the kids to create a paper Derby hat. They also have large tents for resting/​eating and local groups such as music classes, Louisville Free Public Library, etc. Many families also enjoy the playground area.
If you haven’t attended in the past, follow their Facebook page to stay on top of next year’s event and vendors.

If you want to buy handcrafted items from Louisville vendors then the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair is a must attend event.
The art at this fair is pricy, but the vendors are selling actual handcrafted items. Unlike so many other events this one hadn’t been infiltrated by booths full of Chinese trinkets, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, etc. Unfortunately, some of the vendors weren’t taking Square and there was no ATM on site so bring cash or at least a checkbook if you plan to buy.
Also, I recommend eating elsewhere before you come. The food options were extremely limited, basically hotdogs and hamburgers.

Cherokee Triangle Art Fair is really a wonderful annual event. Although this past weekend had some unfortunate weather on Saturday, Sunday was a perfect day for it. The festival is located in Willow Park and includes plenty of local and non-​local vendors, along with beer, mimosas, and wine. This art festival is good for families or for adults only. On a beautiful day, it’s also nice to walk around the exterior and view all the beautiful victorian homes!

Beautiful locale for a wonderful art festival. Plenty of art and crafts for all ages.

Love this art show in the heart of the Cherokee Triangle. Beautiful homes to look at, plenty of shade to be found, a nice little park, food and activities for your littlest friends! They close off several streets and there is a great variety of quality artists. I never leave empty handed!

A lovely springtime event near the park. Lots of booths with cool things to see and buy, good food, live music.
I grabbed a mimosa and enjoyed an afternoon in the sun, looking at pretty things i couldn’t afford. A great annual event!
