About this Event

2024 marks the 45th Anniversary of the Louisville Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival, an event that brings more than 2,000 people to St. Paul United Methodist Church to share in a unique depiction of the gift of Christ to the world.

The Festival has its roots in centuries of tradition, having been first presented at least as early as 1340 at Queen’s college, Oxford, England. In time it became part of Christmas celebrations in the great Manor Houses of England. The festival came to America in 1888 to Hoosac School, Hoosac, New York. The Louisville Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival is a descendant of that early festival.

The four performances take place December 29 and 30 at 5:30pm and 8:00pm. Each performance will be followed by a reception in McAdams Hall.

This year, we are collecting new deordorant, bar soap, and lip balm to help stock the St. Paul Resource Center shelves. St. Paul’s Resource Center provides everyday essentials, such as clothing, hygiene products, and food to our unhoused neighbors in the Highlands. Your support would be greatly appreciated.
