Kroger's Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront


Fest-a-Ville Crowd 2008Kroger's  Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront is the ULTIMATE ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE. Sponsored by Kroger and Miller Lite, this party starts on the Great Lawn on Thursday, April 22nd and runs through Derby Eve, Friday, April 30th.

It promises to have something for everyone - and admission is just a Pegasus Pin. Familiar Derby Festival events will be held at Kroger's Fest-a-Ville, including the U.S. Bank Great Balloon Glimmer, the Run for the Rose, WineFest and the Volleyball Classic.

The venue will also be jam-packed with must-see concerts, great food, a kids' inflatable playground and corn toss, plus activities like a movie night and Bourbon Country.  From the opening day ribbon-cutting to the final Derby Eve concert, Fest-a-Ville will be the downtown destination at Derby Festival time.
