We are a regional show.  You must live within a 350 mile radius of Paducah, KY to participate.

Six years ago a group of artists in Lower Town took over the reins of the Lower Town Arts & Music Festival.  We are proud to say the LTAMF has grown into an event that has gained statewide awards (a 'Top Ten' festival in KY) and national attention on CNN and NPR.

Our festival takes place on the streets of 7 blocks in Lower Town (our charming Historic and Arts District).  Paducah has now been designated a UNESCO World Creative City for Crafts & Folk Art; only 1 of 3 in the USA.

We partner with the City of Paducah to create two days of regional magic.  As a result, our festival attracts crowds in excess of 15,000.  We are known for our Paducah Hospitality and we have an amazing volunteer workforce!

LTAMF is a small outdoor event; we have 90-100 booths of artists and local food (The Taste of Paducah).  We like the intimacy and we want our artists to continue to make a profit.  We feel that it is mutually beneficial for both our artists and our patrons to get to know each other.  After all, we are neighbors!

Please note: We set up our booths in pods of two so each and every booth is a corner.

Marketing: 
We market extensively throughout our region with print, web, and radio ads. Not only do we focus very locally but we also extend as far as Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, & Louisville. Ask Victoria all about it...she's gets rather animated.
