Another Music Festival is Born

Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, will host its inaugural HullabaLOU Music Festival next summer in an effort to create new revenue for the venue, no doubt trying to duplicate the success in recent years of other nationally known destination festivals such as Austin City Limits Music Festival, Coachella, Stagecoach, and Bonnaroo.

Is the U.S. saturated with festivals yet? Is a startup festival a wise move in this economy? Time will tell, but here’s hoping there’s room for all the current fests, the new ones on the horizon, and those that are still just a gleam in many dreamy eyes.
