NuLu Bock Fest

NuLu Business Association's annual spring event, NuLu Bock Fest, will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm!

2026 marks the ninth year of the beloved event. This street festival spanning 4 blocks within the NuLu Neighborhood features the Jefferson County Farm Bureau adult and baby goat races, locally crafted bock beer, live music, kids' activities, local vendors, and more!

NuLu is coincidentally home to two goat-named alleys, Nanny Goat Strut and Billy Goat Strut, making it a fitting place for Louisville's largest bock beer festival. Local breweries served up their 2026 bock beers, along with other selections. Craft cocktails and mixed drinks were also for sale.

The annual Kentucky Proud Wurst Fest gives local restaurants the opportunity to put their spin on this traditional dish and compete for the title of Best of the Wurst Fest Winner.

Join us as we drink locally brewed bock beers and enjoy the famous goat races on Market Street in a fun and safe atmosphere!

The goats participating in the Jefferson County Farm Bureau Goat Races are from Sunny Acres Farm. The Louisville Aggies, a local 4H group, will run alongside the goats, helping them to the finish line. Grandstands will be placed on either side of the track for better viewing by the audience.

The races will begin with the Blessing of the Goats and Bock Beer. The featured race will be the News Flash Dash Baby Goat Race, where Louisville's news anchors and meteorologists have their goats battle it out for a $500 donation to the winner's charity of choice.
