Prepare for an immersive journey into the heart of cultural and conscious exploration. NOMADNESS Travel Tribe is gearing up for its annual extravaganza in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky later this month. The spotlight shines brightly on NOMADNESS Fest, a monumental event that encapsulates narratives, resources, influencers, and industry titans hailing from BIPOC backgrounds across the globe. The vibrant fabric of the festival weekend will unfurl its magic from September 28 to October 1, 2023.

What To Expect At Nomadness Fest 2023

The festival itinerary is thoughtfully divided into three distinctive tracks: Leisure Travel, The Business of Travel, and Conscious Travel. This year’s overarching theme, Cultural and Conscious Travel, dives into the multifaceted dialogues reverberating through the global tourism landscape.

Panel discussions at this year’s festival traverse a wide spectrum of subjects. Topics range from the intricate threads of diversity in tourism to holistic wellness tailored for communities of color. The balance between tourism and native lands along with the implications of overtourism are among the topics on the agenda.

Bringing BIPOC Travelers Together In Louisville

“Welcoming the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe attendees to town not only positively impacts Louisville economically, but also helps our destination increase awareness surrounding Black travel and visitation as we strive to host a higher percentage of Black visitors annually,” shared Cleo Battle, Louisville Tourism President and CEO. “We certainly look forward to helping NOMADNESS Fest attendees experience the city’s unique brand of Southern hospitality, iconic attractions, and rich culinary scene.”

This year’s festival marks the crescendo of a collaborative journey that spans two years. This year’s NOMADNESS Fest comes together through the dynamic partnership between Louisville Tourism and NOMADNESS. Since the summer of 2021, these two formidable forces have united to stage vibrant events in diverse cities including Chicago, Washington D.C., Newark, and Atlanta. Louisville Tourism proudly stands as the esteemed host sponsor for the festival’s 2023 edition.
