Continuing on the tradition of the beloved Lower Town Arts & Music Festival, we were proud to present the most anticipated event of 2021! YACtoberfest is a celebration of all things art, community, and music! This festival served as a pandemic recovery fundraiser for the Yeiser Art Center, Paducah’s oldest arts organization. Not intended to be a replacement for LTAMF, we used this as an opportunity to bring something new and exciting to our community.
