Love Out Loud Fest is returning to Louisville with a fall twist! Founded by Kayleigh Knies, also known as Tayzzy, Love Out Loud Fest: Fall Edition will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 5 to 10 p.m. at Jubilee Field, bringing the community together for an evening of live music, local vendors, interactive experiences and fall festivities.

Following the success of its inaugural event in July, which welcomed more than 250 attendees, Love Out Loud Fest is continuing its mission of creating welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can connect, celebrate individuality and experience community without the pressure of high admission costs.

This fall edition will feature live performances from Had! (Detroit), Shanay Morant (New York City), Just Joey (Gary, Indiana), Tonio and Tayzzy. Attendees can also explore local vendors, food trucks, face painting, tarot readings, raffles and more.

Guests are encouraged to bring their costumes back out for a special costume contest featuring a $100 cash prize! The festival will also host a community food drive, inviting attendees to bring canned goods and nonperishable food items to help give back to those in need.

Love Out Loud Fest: Fall Edition is a family-friendly community event. Children are welcome when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. With a pay-what-you-can admission model, the festival aims to make arts, music and meaningful community experiences accessible to everyone.

“Love Out Loud is about creating a space where people feel welcome, supported, and free to be themselves. We want to bring people together through music, creativity, and community while making sure everyone has an opportunity to be part of something meaningful,” said founder Tayzzy.

Whether you’re coming for the music, shopping with local vendors, entering the costume contest, or simply looking to connect with your community, Love Out Loud Fest: Fall Edition invites everyone to come as they are and leave with a little more love.
