In the heart of Louisville, Kentucky, was abuzz with excitement as it hosted the inaugural Gazebo Festival on May 25 and 26, 2024, curated by hometown hero Jack Harlow. The two-day musical extravaganza kicked off with performances by Karri, Jordan Ward, James Blake, Vince Staples, and SZA, captivating attendees with a mix of soulful melodies and high-energy beats. The festival, noted for its chill atmosphere, offered a variety of food options, a free photo booth for capturing memories, and areas with chess and ping pong tables for relaxation and friendly competition. Although the second day was rained out, Sunday's lineup included Ammarae, Omar Apollo, PinkPantheress, and Jack Harlow himself. The success of the first day, coupled with the anticipation for next year's event, has set a strong foundation for what promises to be an annual celebration of music and community in Louisville.
