Railbird Music Festival 2023 Venue
In the past, concert-goers expressed their concerns over festival arrangements, including long lines and the lack of drinking water. The organizers then decided to call off the event in 2022 and decided to come back in 2023 with a new venue. The festival is now shifted to Red Mile, Lexington.
Mary Catherine Jones, the VP of Operations at Red Mile has welcomed the event and said, “I think they can expect the premiere musical acts that they’ve seen in years prior at Keeneland — but obviously at a whole new venue, with a lot of the similar feels I’m sure of what they’ve done previously.”
“I do love that Railbird has incorporated so many of the things that make Lexington and central Kentucky great — which is music, horses, bourbon… so really what more can you ask for? To be able to introduce folks that may not have been here before, that are coming back for maybe the second or third time,” Jones added.
Last month, Railbird Festival announced that there would be improvements in the arrangements next year, keeping in mind the audience’s concerns. The organizers revealed that they would be doubling the number of water stations and adding bar frontage and staffing.
