Calendar

Most events in Louisville are canceled due to the Coronavirus. You can check our list of other ideas for fun here. 

We hope to have our well-loved calendar back up and running on our website at the end of the summer go highlight events in Louisville. We will use this time to re-evaluate the calendar and think of ways to make it even better.

So, when we do have events to share with you, you will find our calendar page so useful. More than you did before!

We will update this page with a list of upcoming events as we find them that are planned for when things open up more and more. Check out “what’s open, what’s closed” post for lots of info!
