The Before I Die Festival is a unique series of events that explores the many different ways we can prepare for death and dying.

Hosted by a partnership of Louisville-based, end-of-life professionals and local businesses and organizations, this program provides a cutting-edge approach to facing (what can be) the most difficult and mysterious aspect of the human condition.

All ages are encouraged to participate in this community undertaking that features art installations, discussions with religious leaders, educational programs, historical studies of the funeral process, music, comedy, games, author talks, cemetery tours, and more.

Numerous opportunities to explore individual attitudes, values, and feelings will foster the personal connections that lie at the heart of contemplating end-of-life.
