What is Via Colori?
Via Colori Street Painting Festival
At The Big Four Bridge Lawn in Waterfront Park
Via Colori® Kentucky is a festival in which hundreds of artists, community organizations, vendors, and partners come together to host the most creative festival in Kentucky. The festival was in the Elizabethtown area for almost a decade and moved to Louisville in 2017.
Over 150 artists participate with the intent of making an artistic masterpiece on a large scale, directly on the sidewalks of Waterfront Park in Louisville.
Via Colori is a free family and pet friendly event.
Via Colori will feature live music, bounce house, kid friendly activities, food trucks, a food court, street performers, cosplay and costumed characters, and of course, street art.
Via Colori® Kentucky is part of a series of street painting festivals held throughout the United States. It is a celebration of art and creativity in which a family of artists and volunteers come together to encourage the community at large to value and appreciate the arts. All proceeds from Via Colori® Kentucky directly benefits the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana. Your participation gives the gift of opportunity – a chance for girls to develop the skills that will benefit them the most and have the experiences that encourage them to be courageous and confident.

Henri Matisse once said, “Creativity takes courage.” This quote has become a staple of the Kentucky Via Colori Street Painting Festival over the last seven years. Today we are embracing that quote in a new way. We are delighted to announce that Via Colori is coming back to the Louisville Waterfront for 2023.
We are moving forward with the plan to host the festival on the third weekend of October. Our team is working furiously to make this a reality. We hope to see you there!
Via Colori is truly the most creative festival in Kentuckiana. We have over 150 street painting artists that donate their time to help the festival meet its goal of enriching and supporting the community while raising much need funds for a charitable organization. There are sponsors, vendors, musicians, volunteers, and attendees that dedicate time, energy, and funds to make this event happen every year. We never want to lose sight of that legacy.
