Cherokee Triangle Art Fair
The 40th annual Cherokee Triangle Art Fair will be on Saturday, April 30, and Sunday, May 1, from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m. both days. That’s the weekend before this year’s Kentucky Derby.
The Cherokee Triangle Art Fair is a juried fair with more than 200 artists’ booths. The two-day event is free and open to the public. The Art Fair is held in Louisville’s historic Cherokee Triangle neighborhood on tree-lined Cherokee Parkway between Willow Avenue and Cherokee Road adjacent to the Gen. John Breckinridge Castleman statue. Access to the long-running event adjacent to Cherokee Park will be easier this year because the Derby Festival’s mini-marathon and marathon both have been rerouted away from the fair area.
April 30 and May 1, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Performance: Bach’s Mass in B minor
After 47 years of performance in the Louisville, area, the Louisville Bach Society has decided to cease operations at the close of the 2011
season.
The season will culminate with a performance of Bach’s magnificent Mass in B Minor, a work which was one of Bach’s last works.
The decision was prompted by the retirement of the founders, Melvin and Margaret
Dickinson, compounded by a difficult economy facing the arts community. The Mass in B Minor will be performed on May 1st at 3 p.m. at Harvey Browne Presbyterian Church.
May 1, 3 p.m.
