Boomtown Ball & Festival returns.


First, an event preview. Boomtown Ball & Festival kicks off New Albany Craft Beer Week on Sunday, May 29.

Boomtown Returns on May 29th!

"We’re very excited about our third year hosting the Boomtown Ball & Festival," stated Mayor Jeff M. Gahan. "One new addition to the festival this year will be the Classical 90.5 Instrument Drive for New Albany-Floyd County schools. The Instrument Drive is a great way to expose young kids in our community to the wonderful world of art and music. I want to invite everyone to come help us kick-off the summer event season in New Albany."

This event will be held on Market St. in downtown New Albany on Sunday, May 29th. The City of New Albany has again enlisted the support of Flea Off Market to assist with the booth component of the festival. Flea Off Market is a unique outdoor bazaar that will feature both regional and local New Albany vendors offering records, books, antiques, vintage items, fine arts & crafts, and more!

Food and drink will be vended within the Boomtown enclosure, and of course many downtown New Albany establishments will be open on Sunday, May 29 -- before, during and after the

Boomtown is synonymous with Houndmouth. During the first two Boomtown Ball festivals, the band was involved.

In 2014, the band played a special show  at The Grand.
