Live In Lower Town! The 2022 LTAMF is Back By Will Brandon, Project Coordinator, Yeiser Art Center
P
aducah’s beloved Lower Town Arts & Music Festival (LTAMF) is returning in 2022 to the historic neighborhood where it all began! LTAMF is a celebration of all things art, community, and music. Set in the historic Lower Town Arts District, this free festival offers art vendors, live music, family activities, and mouthwatering food and beverage options. This year’s festival dates are Friday, May 13, from 5pm - 10:30pm and Saturday, May 14, from 10am -10:30pm. It’s a weekend full of musical, culinary, and artistic talent from western Kentucky and the surrounding region. As Paducah’s oldest non-profit organization, 2022 marks the 65th Anniversary of the Yeiser Art Center. LTAMF serves as one of the premier fundraising events for the Yeiser, bringing in critical revenue that supports operations throughout the year, educational programming, and community outreach events. Because of the pandemic, it’s been three years since the last festival, and community support is more important than ever.
Celebrating the Creative Spirit
The goal of this year’s festival is to celebrate the creative spirit in all of us. Organizers certainly needed a little creativity as a few adjustments and facelifts have been implemented to make the event possible. The focal point of LTAMF is the intersection located across from a main stage of music at Madison and 7th Street – where the restored Texaco station stands. The festival footprint this year will be one block in each direction. While the footprint will be smaller than previous years, festival-goers will still find the same quality, sights, and activities they’ve come to know and love.
