in 2009, The Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festival grew to include 15 of St Matthews' most prominent music venues, tied together by SCHOOL BUS!!! Your Peak Summit wristband, available at the doors of ALL of our venues, got you ON the bus, and DROPPED OFF at our venues!

NEW elements were added to the festival, and old ones were improved---all thanks to your feedback. We have honored your requests to include as many of the city's subcultures as we can with our small, 3-mile structure. Rock on!
