Louisville Downtown Street Faire

The Boulder area abounds with free concerts all summer. Louisville has another that we haven’t reported on yet: The Louisville Downtown Street Faire!   This fun family event takes place on Fridays from 5-10pm through August 17, 2012 in beautiful Downtown Louisville CO.  Bring a picnic or try some local food and cold drinks. There will be activities for the kiddos and local crafts to check out.

Here’s the 2012 lineup, along with descriptions from LDBA. Music starts at 6:30:

  • JULY 13 The New Riders of the Purple Sage

    American. Originals. When the double-helix cosmic-highway San Francisco Sound merged with Country, these guys were THERE. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the real pedal-steel deal: please give a big Street Faire welcome to David Nelson, Buddy Cage and the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

  • JULY 20 Marcia Ball

    Back by popular demand, for her fourth consecutive year, please welcome, from N’awlins, the lady with the legs, the in*******credible piano player, and possibly the nicest person to ever grace the Steinbaugh stage—the great Marcia Ball. Her band is pretty good too.

  • JULY 27 The Smithereens

    Another East Coast band? How you doin’? These FM radio hit makers, (“Blood and Roses”, “Only a Memory”, “A Girl Like You”) play music for the joy of it, and joy is highly contagious. In addition to their great originals, they do amazing covers of some decent bands, like the Beatles and the Who. This is going to be fun.

  • AUGUST 3 Tab Benoit

    Were you at the Faire for Tab’s show last summer? If you were, you know. If not, do not miss this—we’re talking a power trio experience extraordinaire. The Faire seems to bring out the best in all our Louisiana musicians. Or maybe it’s the other way round.

  • AUGUST 10 Gregg Rolie Band

    Join us for a very special evening with the Santana and Journey co-founder and his all-star band. This show will be all about the songs Gregg wrote and sang for the original Santana, including covering their masterwork, Abraxas.

  • AUGUST 17 Emmitt-Nershi Band

    It’s a Newgrass kind of thing. Join Louisville native Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon and Bill Nershi of String Cheese Incident for an only-at-the-Faire night of jaw-dropping musicianship and good jam-band vibes, man.

Home Ownership Still the American Dream?

RIS Media reports on how America thinks about home ownership.  Things are looking good, according to the surveys. “Overall, more than half of consumers polled say homeownership is a vital component to defining the American Dream and 59 percent associated feelings of excitement or pride as part of their first time home buying process.”

Sounds good!

Downtown Louisville Bike Race

Here’s a new one: Sonic Boom Race through historic downtown Louisville Colorado! There’s a kids race, cruiser race and competitive racing also.

The race course will start and finish on Main Street and Walnut heading north, and follows a path through the residential streets west of downtown. The streets are wide and smooth with a three block hill at the beginning of the loop and a meandering downhill leading into the final turn-The Lucky Pie Corner.
The Sonic Boom Kid’s Bike Race and fun Cruiser Race are open to everyone.  All kid participants receive a free ice cream cone, sponsored by Sweet Cow and Centennial Valley Pediatrics. At the end of the day, stop by the Avery beer garden at Lucky Pie’s expanded front patio space for the end of race celebrations.
