AFLORA 2026
Louisville’s newest cultural arts festival.
Aflora is more than an art festival. It is a celebration of creativity, Latinx culture, community, entrepreneurship, music and belonging.
After five years of presenting the Aflora Art Exhibition in some of Louisville’s most recognized cultural institutions, Aflora enters a new chapter: a full festival created with Kentucky Performing Arts at Old Forester’s Paristown Hall.
Come meet local artists, hear live music, learn new rhythms, shop from makers, share food and experience Paristown through the art and stories of la comunidad Latina.
“WHEN OUR COMMUNITIES COME TOGETHER,
WE FLOURISH TOGETHER."
Come curious.
Find comunidad.
Leave connected.
