**************************************
THE FORECASTLE FESTIVAL is the largest gathering of musicians, artists, and activists in the American Midwest. Founded in Louisville, KY, the scenic, outdoor event is equally based upon a three-part format: Music.Art.Activism. Combining the hardest working Midwest bands, legions of emerging artists, and multitudes of progressive environmental organizations ~ Forecastle is the place where the people come together. The 2006 festival brought a record attendance to Louisville's historic Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center. Next year's fest ~ with its waterfront setting, expanded line-ups, extreme sports park, and finale performances from dual national acts ~ is expected to surpass 2006 by five thousand attendees, converging in Louisville from the Midwest and beyond.
