National Jug Band Jubilee The 9th Annual National Jug Band Jubilee returns to the Brown-Forman Amphitheater in Waterfront Park on Saturday, September 21, noon - 11 pm. Louisville.com named the jubilee, which attracts bands and attendees from all over the country, one of “15 Music Events to Attend in 2013,” because it is free, family-friendly, and keeps getting better. In addition to the music, the festival also includes food vendors, a beer and wine booth, and a number of workshops for adults and children. Louisville is the acknowledged home of jug music, a pre-jazz style that features traditional and homemade instruments. In the late 19th century, African American musicians walked the streets of the River City playing tunes on improvised instruments like empty liquor jugs ("the poor man’s tuba"), kazoos and washboards. By the time the sound reached its peak in the 1930s, it had infiltrated towns up and down the Ohio and

The National Jug Band Jubilee is dedicated to preserving the history of Louisville jug music. For the last several years, the organization has partnered with Jefferson County Public Schools to offer jug band concerts to school children on the day before the jubilee. That tradition continues this year.

September Meet First for Churchill Downs
For the first time in its 139-year history, Churchill Downs hosts racing in September. The 12-day Churchill Downs session, known as the Homecoming Meet, kicked off September 6. Races take place Friday through Sunday every weekend and races conclude September 29. Traditionally, the September portion of the state’s Thoroughbred season is held at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky. Nationally ranked horses, including past Kentucky Derby winners, take part in the races packaged as the Kentucky Cup Day of Champions. This year, Churchill Downs’ Homecoming Classic fills the void of the Kentucky Cup Classic. The Homecoming Classic offers $175,000 in prize money, making it the richest race on the schedule. On September 21, the $100,000 Dogwood race is featured. It is the 38th running of this race and the third race of the day. The horses are 3 year old fillies and run 1 mile. The gates open at
11:30 am and admission is $3. The first race starts at 12:45 pm. The upcoming Downs After Dark event is on September 28. This night features race 6 as the Homecoming Classic at 8:30 pm, earning the winning horse $175,000, and the following race is the Jefferson Cup, earning the winning horse $100,000. Gates will open at 4 pm and admission is $10. The races will start at 6 pm and the final race is at 11:10 pm. A live band performs in the Plaza area. Churchill Downs hosts the City’s Best Happy Hours every Friday in September. There will be drink specials, food trucks, and live music in the Plaza from 4 7 pm. The races start at 1:45 pm on Fridays. Admission is $3. Every Sunday is Family Fun Days and features ten races, which begin at 12:45 pm. Family-focused activities will be on the Plaza Balcony from 11:30 am to 4 pm. Kids 12 and under are invited to enjoy games, crafts, and meet Churchill Charlie, Churchill Downs’ mascot. whigl.com | Your Guide to Louisville Since 1951 | September 18 - October 1, 2013 WHiGL 29
