4th of July
Celebrate the 4th of July with Louisville style! With so many parks featuring July 4th fireworks, communities hosting Independence Day parades and free concerts, there is no shortage of ways to celebrate the birth of our country.
Thanksgiving
While many Louisvillians spend the holiday at home with family, others spend the day out on the town. If you're among the latter group, you'll want to know what restaurants and businesses are open on Thanksgiving in Louisville.

Christmas
Sitting on Santa's lap, driving around town looking for the best Christmas light displays, shopping for the perfect gift--Christmas is a wonderful time of year to celebrate holiday traditions.
New Year's Eve
We may not have a party equal in size to the Times Square party in New York, but a Louisville New Year's Eve is no less exciting. Parties all over town include black-tie galas and masquerade balls, buffets and five course meals, champagne toasts and balloon drops.
Winter Events and Attractions
It's tempting to hibernate indoors when winter hits Louisville, but there are just too many fun things to do around town during the winter months to hide out at home for too long.
