Louisville’s Forecastle Festival announced today that its next music and art fest will be July 13-15 at Waterfront Park, with several smaller events preceding it. Performers will be announced later.

Although 2012 technically marks the festival’s 11th anniversary, organizers canceled this year’s fest and will celebrate the anniversary next year.

Forecastle this year entered into a partnership with AC Entertainment, which produces the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee, and the July 13-15 fest in Louisville will be their first major undertaking. They partnered in July on Halfway to Forecastle, a one-day event.

“Halfway was the perfect opportunity to get our feet wet with this new partnership,” Forecastle founder JK McKnight said in a release. “The event was successful, and brought about a larger, more complete vision for the 10th anniversary.”
