Things to Do
We're so excited to welcome our amazing family and friends from out of town! We hope the trip gives you the chance to experience all the unique charm and fun that Kentucky has to offer.
If you’re here for a “go with the flow” experience, please note that the best flows start in the NuLu, St. Matthew’s and Butchertown neighborhoods. These areas offer plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to do and all are full of charm, walkable dining and fun local spots to explore.
Activities to Do
1. Experience Thunder Over Louisville- the dazzling kickoff to Derby season on Saturday, April 18th (the day after the wedding). This is the #1 recommended activity of the weekend besides the wedding, of course.
2. Tour one of the many historic and neat bourbon distilleries around town.
3. Visit some of the many incredible restaurants in town. Louisville is most definitely a foodie destination!
4. Calling all baseball fanatics- check out the iconic Louisville Slugger Museum downtown.
5. Tour the historic race track Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.
