We're very excited to announce the Bread for Beggars Festival ONLINE! Every weeknight for the foreseeable future, at 8pm ET, you can enjoy a livestream from one of our musicians, artists, or storytellers.

Tune in tonight at 8pm as Kent Reeder helps us kick things off with a set of his songs.

Gifted storyteller Luke Italiano will be joining us at the this June.

Luke serves as a pastor in Florence, Kentucky, where he lives with his wife and an insanity of children. ("A group of children is called an insanity. Trust me.") He also revels in ready geeky books, including copious amounts of comics, and writing geeky things.

Luke loves stories. He loves movies that tell compelling stories, novels that speak engaging stories, and he loves the Greatest Story, the Story that is true, that tells of the God that loved a sinner like him.

We can't wait to share Luke's incredible gift of storytelling with you at the Bread for Beggars Festival happening June 11-13th. If you haven't registered yet, make sure you take advantage of the early bird registration available through March 31st!
