A little about Achiever Fest
Welcome to Achiever Fest!

Inspired by the cult classic film The Big Lebowski, Achiever Fest is a unique celebration that brings together fans of the movie for a fun-filled festival experience. Founded by a passionate team—Scott Shuffitt, Jeff Faith, Christine Faith, and Tom Esterline—our festival is a tribute to the quirky charm and unforgettable characters of the film.
Our Journey

We hosted our inaugural event in Indianapolis, where enthusiasts gathered to celebrate their love for The Big Lebowski. The success of that first gathering inspired us to expand our reach, leading us to organize an event in St. Louis. After some exciting years, we found our home at the Vernon Lanes in Louisville, Kentucky, where the fun, community spirit, and love for the film continue to flourish.
What to Expect
At Achiever Fest, we offer a vibrant experience filled with engaging activities, a Friday night screening, live music, discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow fans. Whether you’re a die-hard Achiever or just looking to have a great time, there’s something for everyone.
Join us for a weekend that celebrates the unique humor and style of The Big Lebowski, complete with themed contests, guest appearances, and plenty of opportunities to share in camaraderie with friends, both old and new.
