MAKE A LIFE IN LOU.
There’s something to do
every day in Lou.
How large of a life would you like to live? Louisville is home to the Greatest – from Muhammad Ali to the Kentucky Derby, from Louisville Slugger to the St. James Court Art Show. When you want big, this is your home. But what makes Louisville truly special is that when you want something unique and one-of-a-kind, we are equally your home. Lou does Lou – independent shops, independent restaurants, independent bands. Home to legends and landmarks, living your best life in Louisville is all about finding the right mix.
A FOODIE TOWN BUILT ON BOURBON
With James Beard Award-winning chefs, a large farm-to-table movement, and a growing craft beer scene, Louisville is filled to the brim with exceptional dining experiences. Great Louisville restaurants are peppered throughout the community, from the Highlands to NULU, from Germantown to Middletown.
FROM FOOTBALL TO FÚTBOL
From the Cards, to the Bats, to LouCity and Racing Louisville Football Clubs, there’s plenty to root for here. And with rec leagues in everything from kickball to cornhole, it’s easy to get in on the action. Looking for a great place for your kids to compete? From the Louisville City Academy for youth soccer to the Prairie Village Babe Ruth baseball and softball league, Louisville offers a wide range of youth sports — from fun to competitive — for athletes of all ages.
A THRIVING
ARTS SCENE
Home to the Louisville Ballet, Kentucky Opera, Louisville Orchestra, and massively popular music festivals like Forecastle and Bourbon & Beyond, this city certainly knows how to put on a show. You’ll also find touring Broadway productions at the Kentucky Center for the Arts and contemporary plays and premieres at Actors Theatre. Add to that a vibrant local music scene centered around iconic venues like the historic Louisville Palace and the high-energy Mercury Ballroom, and it’s clear—Louisville is a dynamic destination for every kind of arts lover.
LEGENDARY MUSEUMS AND ATTRACTIONS
Every year, people flock to Louisville to visit the Muhammad Ali Center, see how Louisville Sluggers are made, visit the Derby Museum, and tour the world’s best bourbon distilleries. You can also explore the Speed Art Museum, home to a world-class collection spanning ancient to contemporary works; the Kentucky Science Center, where interactive exhibits inspire curiosity in all ages; and the Frazier History Museum, which brings Kentucky’s rich past to life through engaging exhibitions. Lucky for us locals, we’ve got all this and more in our backyard.
NATURALLY ADVENTUROUS
Whether you’re into hiking, biking, kayaking, or horseback riding, the Louisville region has an adventure for you. At the heart of it all is the 85+ acre Louisville Waterfront Park, bringing Kentucky and Indiana together through the colorful Big Four Bridge — a favorite for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike. And if you somehow manage to explore all 120 of our local parks, outdoor treasures like Mammoth Cave National Park, Bernheim Forest, and Red River Gorge are just a short drive away.
