Schnitzelburg was hit with the blues this weekend, and we
aren’t referring to the neighborhood falling under a blanket of melancholy and
sadness.

Luckily, the weather cooperated and the rain held off both days for the festival. The free event had Schnitzelburg packed with people of all ages enjoying the wonderful music. Many people flooded into to the street to dance solo or with a partner. It looked as though some people had been practicing their moves!

The Kentuckiana Blues Society was on hand as the blues
liaison for the event. According to
their website, the KBS is dedicated to the preservation, promotion and
perpetuation of the Blues Tradition in all its forms. Something tells us that these guys know how
to have a good time…

Since blues and bourbon seem to go hand in hand, it was no
surprise that Wild Turkey signed on as one of the event sponsors this year. Of course, cold beer was flowing and the grills
were stacked with meat. Saturday, the
Grind Gourmet Burger Truck and Fair and Square food truck showed up to provide additional
deliciousness for festivalgoers.
Schnitzelburg is so very excited to have the blues festival
call us home and we welcome everyone who was in attendance. This is a great time for the neighborhood to
shine and we believe it did just that!
A portion of the proceeds went to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
