DID YOU KNOW?
The Corn Island Storytelling Festival is named after Louisville’s first settlement, a tiny island that today lies beneath the Ohio River, just off the Belvedere. The festival was a nationally known autumn fixture in Louisville for three decades before ending its run in 2007. UofL and the International Order of E.A.R.S. revived it in 2012. Tonight’s festival has been moved inside the Red Barn due to expected rain.
