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.

Black Friday

The biggest shopping day of the year brings Louisvillians out of their homes in the middle of the night for great deals on holiday gifts. The lines may be long, but the deals make the waiting worthwhile.

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.
