Ginkgo Galore FAQs

Absolutely. GINKGO GALORE™ is designed for families making memories together. You'll find activities for every age — from toddler play areas and kiddie activities to juried fine art and national music acts.

Attendance is free. Every attendee is encouraged to pre-register through Eventbrite so we can provide the best possible experience at each venue and activity throughout the day.

The town of Wilmore itself is the venue. Activities and events are spread across multiple locations including Asbury Seminary's Admin Building, Wilmore Main Street, The Granary Grounds, and participating local businesses along East Main Street.

GINKGO GALORE™ uses a collective festival model. Nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations are invited to create their own ginkgo-themed events and weave them into the festival calendar. Each dovetail event is produced by the hosting organization and featured in the official festival lineup at no cost. It's a creative, community-powered way to build a bigger day together.

GINKGO GALORE™ is an open, inclusive, community-wide arts and music festival. While Wilmore is home to a well-known seminary university and a rich faith community, the festival itself is not a religious event. Everyone is welcome — all backgrounds, all ages, all interests.

The vision is cumulative. Year one is a day. Year two builds on that community, with a growing podcast, newsletter, and an expanding base of event partners. Eventually, the festival grows to a weekend, and then to a 10-day celebration. Each year's programming is dynamic — that's the nature of discovery.
