Halfway to Forecastle 060
An interview with founder J.K. McKnight
Forecastle Festival founder and director J.K McKnight is a week away from perhaps the biggest milestone of his career: the massive 10-year anniversary of the Louisville festival, which started as a pet project in 2002 featuring a small gathering of bands at a neighborhood park. Since then, the festival has outgrown several Louisville locations – including Cherokee Park, Mellwood Arts Center and the Riverfront Belvedere –before finding a home in Louisville’s 85-acre Waterfront Park in 2010, where it has remained since then.
