Festivals are a great opportunity for Louisville families to explore different areas of town. So many local communities, businesses, and groups host fall events and more than not, they are free. Enjoy fall fun around Louisville with family and friends.

 

Fall Festivals are a fantastic opportunity to explore Louisville. From smaller towns in our area to big street festivals, there are multiple opportunities each weekend. Most of the festivals are free and have children’s activities, vendors, and unique food options.
