Community & Culture Greater Louisville’s culture is hard to define because it is made up of so many disparate elements.

The city straddles the line between Southern and Midwestern, and its culture combines the best elements of both regions. However, the River City also adds a few twists of its own. This is the place that gave the world bourbon, Muhammad Ali, Hunter S. Thompson, the Kentucky Derby, and “Happy Birthday to You.” There has to be something a little extraordinary going on here.

The greatest asset Greater Louisville has is its people. Louisvillians are known for their approachablity and hospitality. They want everyone to feel like they are at home, whether they live here or somewhere else. Whether you find yourself exploring the urban amenities downtown or in one of the city’s many suburban areas, you’ll find that it is a splendid place to be.

Louisville for All Ages

By Stacy Smith Rogers

No matter what your age, you’ll be giddy with excitement over all there is to do in Louisville! Whether it’s experiencing Derby pie for the first time, marveling at the air show and fireworks display during Thunder Over Louisville, attending a PGA tournament, braving a zip line, catching a Broadway show downtown or discovering the perfect piece of art, you’ll soon realize there’s more moving and shaking here besides the pounding hooves of three-year-old thoroughbreds (but those are pretty amazing too). Louisville is undergoing a renaissance of cultural and entertainment opportunities that make it an ideal place to settle down, get up and go, or simply enjoy life.

Trendy, loft-style living in the city’s downtown and revitalized historic architecture along tree-lined streets complement suburban neighborhoods and new developments built with the latest green building techniques. There’s a place for every age group to call home. Its reputation for hospitality is the real deal!

Louisville welcomes people of all stages of life to dig in, plant some roots and simply experience the heritage and vibrance of their hometown.

Innovators, Entrepreneurs and Young Professionals are Setting Trends in Louisville

Young professionals, inventors and entrepreneurs find Louisville to be the best kept secret around. Trendsetters abound in the city, where progressive ideas flow as freely as the nearby Ohio River. The central location and welcoming atmosphere offer the perfect backdrop for both start-up companies and industry mainstays. Louisville is cited nationally as a “green city” and ranked in the top three “Best Cites for Young Entrepreneurs”

by Under 30 CEO. Innovation is top-of-mind here! The city’s IdeaFestival attracts people from all over the country who come together to brainstorm each year. One-of-a-kind businesses and emerging leaders are calling Louisville home every day, while an appreciation for music and culture also thrives. Thousands of

fans gather on the riverfront throughout the year to enjoy music festivals like Abbey Road on the River and Forecastle Festival and more casual concerts during Waterfront Wednesdays. Major sellout concerts in the KFC YUM! Center are a weekly happening, while smaller venues at The Louisville Palace continue to draw crowds. Miles of parklands and adult sports leagues contribute to outdoor fitness opportunities. (There’s even an underground bike park.) The city continues to draw attention from national media for its low cost of living advantage and unique metropolitan offerings that help inspire, motivate and educate emerging community and business leaders.

Empty Nesters Enjoy the Freedom of All Louisville Offers

Louisville residents who are transitioning to life without kids in the house happily trade in their grocery run for dinner out on the town. In addition to mouth-watering hot browns and benedictine sandwiches, the city is known to be a foodie’s paradise, with world-renowned chefs, bourbon bars and innovative international cuisine that will impress even the most selective diner. (The nightlife scene is pretty happening as well.)

Trolley hops are held each month in two of the city’s most progressive art and cultural districts and pop-up art exhibits are featured in various areas in the downtown. Coming in 2016 is the re-opening of The Speed Art Museum, which has undergone a $50 million expansion. Craft beer and bourbon lovers have plenty to discover with the Urban Bourbon Trail in their own backyard and new distilleries and tasting rooms popping up around the city.

Divided by seas of red and blue, Cardinal and Wildcat fans get in the game of cheering on the state’s college rivals during football and basketball season. But no matter which team they’re pulling for, the entire town comes together during the Derby Festival to celebrate the most exciting two minutes in sports for two weeks straight (at least). Neighborhood festivals throughout the year offer plenty of reasons to spend time with friends and have a good time celebrating Louisville’s claim to fame.

Louisville is a World-Leader in Lifelong A Great Place to Raise Kids Like their parents and grandparents, kiddos thrive in Wellness and Aging Care Louisville with so many options for engagement, learning and With the benefits of a small town feel and metropolitan-style opportunities, Louisville is a safe community where people have the peace of mind of living in a place where neighbors care about neighbors. The city’s senior population enjoys bountiful residential options that can help them transition into a lifestyle that’s comfortable, engaged and well-cared for. Respect for our elders isn’t just a demonstration of manners here in Louisville.

The city is home to the nation’s largest collection of headquarters in nursing home, rehabilitation, assisted living and home health administration. It’s referred to as the world-leader in lifelong wellness and aging care. Active seniors have no shortage of entertainment options with so many walking trails, golf courses and fitness centers. And when they want to relax, they can board the Belle of Louisville for a river boat cruise, or catch a show at The Kentucky Center. Access to health care is around every corner, and a vibrant offering of activities, along with a strong faith community comprising more than 1,100 congregations, contribute to making Louisville an ideal retirement haven.

entertainment. Whether they’re into sports, theater, science, nature, art or adventure, there are plenty of opportunities to nurture children’s talents. The Kentucky Science Center is a must-experience, as is exploring hundreds of acres of parks, playgrounds, biking trails and lakes. Of course, waving hello to the resident polar bear during the “World’s Largest Halloween Party” at the Louisville Zoo is a lot of fun too! Season passes to area attractions make entertaining and educating kids affordable, and with so many fields, courts and gyms available, kids can stay active year-round. Feeding them home-grown, healthy veggies is easy with access to farmers markets and regional farm tours. From outings at Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay to Slugger Field, there’s always something fun to do with the kids. Public and private schools abound in the city, and the libraries make it easy to cuddle up with your little one and read a good book.

Swim clubs, dance studios, gymnastics facilities and sports teams contribute to the plentiful offerings for kids to take a break from electronics long enough to enjoy good-old-fashioned fun and enrichment programs in Louisville.

Tea Station Chinese Bistro

Tea Station Chinese Bistro, 9422 Norton Commons Boulevard, 502-423-1202, teastationbistro.com

Dining

Casually sophisticated Asian décor sets the scene for Tea Station Chinese Bistro.

Nestled in the heart of Norton Commons, it is an oasis of a panoply of Asian food and neighborhood conviviality.

All dishes are cooked to order and may be customized to suit individual preferences. Some of the most popular items are pineapple chicken, Mongolian beef, house pad Thai and Peking shrimp. The menu also includes palate-tempters such as Phoenix soup, hacked chicken, jalapeño fish and Kung Pao noodles.

“We’re delighted that word has spread far beyond Norton Commons that Tea Station invites everyone to explore the diversity of authentic Asian cuisines. There’s always something new to discover with Asian food, and we like to introduce our customers to new dishes, while also offering many of their traditional favorites,” says Roland Wong, managing partner.

Sushi is prepared in the dining room Thursday – Sunday from 5 p.m. until closing, and passersby often linger in front of the window to watch the fascinating process.

Tea Station has a well-designed list of beer, wine, spirits and specialty cocktails.

There is also a wide selection of teas, including several bubble teas, a beverage enjoyed by people of all ages.

Children love the welcoming atmosphere and are encouraged to feed the goldfish in the indoor fountain that bubbles quietly in the background.

If your hectic schedule doesn’t allow you to stop by Tea Station for lunch or dinner, their quick and friendly delivery service will bring your meal to your door.

Tea Station hospitality is only a call away.

Ronald Wong - Tea Station Chinese Bistro

Thai Café Thai Café was one of the first Thai restaurants to open in Louisville more than 20 years ago. Since that time it has developed a devoted following of diners who appreciate its menu that spans the culinary regions of Thailand. Dining at Thai Café is much like traveling throughout the country, sampling and discovering new tastes along the way.

As a child growing up in Bangkok, chef and owner Chavantee Snow developed a love for cooking. Today she shares her passion for food and cooking with diners in the relaxed and friendly Thai Café. When she’s not in the kitchen, she can often be found in the dining room where she chats with guests and discusses the nuances of various dishes.

“Thai food can be spicy, sweet or sour. It’s always fun when customers learn about the different flavors. The most interesting thing about Thai food is that there really is something for everyone,” says Snow.

Thai Café features appetizers, soups, noodle dishes, a variety of curries, and an array of chicken, beef, seafood and vegetarian offerings. Snow and her staff will be happy to make suggestions that might include green papaya salad, sweet corn cakes, Gai Pad Khing (ginger chicken), jungle curry, Moo Pad Prig (pepper pork) or Naea Kraprao (basil beef ). If you enjoy wine or beer with your meal, you’re sure to find one that pairs well with any dish.

The restaurant’s carry-out service is always available for you to savor Thai Café’s extensive menu at home.

Mayan Café

Dining

Located in the East Market Gallery District (NuLu to Louisvillians who love the vibrant urban area), the Mayan Café has become a culinary icon. Chef and partner Bruce Ucán celebrates the rich history of food for which his native Yucatan peninsula is known.

“It is exciting to show that Mexican food is more than just tacos,” says Ucán about his menu that he describes as homecooked peasant food with creative twists to the presentation.

A longtime supporter of the farm-to-table movement, he continues to foster his close relationship with more than 20 local farmers and purveyors, such as Heritage Harvest for produce; Foxhollow Farm for grass-fed beef and produce; Grateful Greens for hydroponic greens and herbs; Kenny’s Farmhouse for hard cheeses; and Groce Family Farm for sustainably-farmed fruits, vegetables and eggs. All the meat served at Mayan Café is freerange and grass-fed.

Reading Mayan Café’s menu serves up an adventure in itself: chorizo and black bean empanadas, grilled chicken with Veracruz chocolate mole, rabbit with pumpkin sauce and cochinita pibil (roasted pork with achiote sauce). But the real excitement begins with the first bite, when the exciting tastes of Mayan cuisine meld with the finest local products.

Wines, offered by the glass, flight or bottle, are carefully selected to complement the distinctive flavors of Ucán’s menu.

Or, select a cocktail such as the Mezcal Mule, Blood Orange Margarita or Garden Mojito.

Become part of Louisville’s burgeoning downtown dining scene. Enjoy the adventure that is Mayan Café.

The Big Four Bridge was celebrated in 2014 with a parade of residents coming from both states and meeting in the middle. It’s estimated that 1 million people have been on the Big Four since it opened in February 2013.

OLDHAM COUNTY

Main Street La Grange photo courtesy of OCED

• Sweeping views of the Ohio River, rolling landscapes of rural areas and miles of black-board fence rows make Oldham County a welcome refuge for more than 62,000 people.

• Its close proximity to Louisville (less than 25 miles) and convenient access along I-71 (under 100 miles from Cincinnati) make it a popular place for businesses, while its award-winning school system draws the attention of families.

• It’s a place where you can bring the family on a horse ride, play a round of golf, take a lantern-guided ghost tour or test your aim in the paintball arena – all in one weekend.

• Oldham County has the highest per capita family income in Kentucky and is one of the top three fastest-growing counties in the state.

• Although it’s known for its beauty, Oldham County is a place where you can get your hands (and boots) a little dirty by exploring its numerous working farms, which offer educational tours and up-close experiences with alpaca, buffalo, sheep, horses and dairy cows.

• Numerous community events and celebrations reflect the heritage of the area, including the Railroad and Bluegrass Festival (where you might even see a cowboy gun fight), the Kentucky Farm Festival and Arts on the Green.

• Stop and smell the roses at Yew Dell Gardens, Morgan Conservation Park, Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve or Foxhollow Farm Nature Trails. And, don’t miss Duncan Memorial Chapel, where thousands of couples have said, “I do.”

• The historic district in LaGrange (where up to 30 trains a day run right down the center of Main Street) offers a chance to step back in time and shop for antiques or explore the Historic L&N Train Depot, the Oldham County History Center or homes of famous Oldham County natives.

• Locals and visitors alike often head to downtown LaGrange regularly to pick up fresh produce at the farmer’s market or take in a show at The Little Colonel Playhouse in Pewee Valley, the oldest community theatre in the region.

• Oldham County is thriving with an abundance of familiar and one-of-a-kind restaurants, new businesses, retail stores, horse farms and increasing acres of parks and recreational facilities.

SHELBY COUNTY

Photo courtesy of Shelby KY Tourism & Visitors Bureau

• An energetic buzz can be felt in Shelby County (alongside the slow-paced, easy-going way of life), especially at the new Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, a premier, 374,300-square-foot outlet mall shopping center featuring 95-plus choice retailers in an upscale setting in Simpsonville.

• The American Saddlebred Capital of the World hosts numerous horse shows throughout the year, including the Shelbyville Horse Show, which has drawn championship American Saddlebreds from across the country for more than 25 years. (For locals, it’s one of the most popular social events of the season.)

• Shelby County’s population is approximately 43,000.

Strategically located between Louisville and Lexington, it’s an easy drive for commuters. It’s also a great location for new businesses. Two new multi-million dollar distilleries are currently under construction in Shelby County, creating new jobs and a wonderful addition to the region’s bourbon culture.

• A community theater, the Clear Creek Park Family Activity Center, a movie theater, skate park and a variety of other offerings add to the family-friendly atmosphere and charm of Shelby County.

• Long-time dining establishments such as Claudia Sanders Dinner House, Science Hill Inn and Old Stone Inn add historic flavor to fine dining. One-of-a-kind restaurants and downtown cafes and coffee shops (there’s even one in an antique store) add to the eclectic mix.

• Shelby County’s reputation as a destination for antique shopping and interior design is anchored by its wide variety of specialty stores, including the renowned Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, with more than 32,000 sq. ft. of showrooms.

• Gallrein Farms is a popular spot to find fresh produce, pick pumpkins and take a hayride. New on the block (or the field, rather) is Mulberry Orchard where corn mazes in the fall and pulled pork sandwiches are drawing crowds of curious farmgoers.

• In Shelby County, quality of life and peace of mind run as boldly as the horses do. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House and sets a little later for couples enjoying live music on Saturday nights at one of the local wineries.

• Behind-the-scenes tours at local horse farms (including a therapeutic riding center), can be arranged through the Shelby County Tourism Commission. Trail riders can explore Shelby Trails Equestrian Park on their own.

• From Louisville, it’s just a short drive east along I-64, or for a more scenic route, take U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) and drive past horse farms and large countryside estates.

• Guist Creek Marina and Camping located on a 314 acre bass fishing lake, the largest lake in Shelby County.

SPENCER COUNTY

Taylorsville Lake photo courtesy of Taylorsville/Spencer County Tourism Commission

• Home to Taylorsville Lake State Park, Spencer County extends an invitation to get back to the basics of life, where parents can teach their children how to fish (and teenagers can teach their parents how to wakeboard) along 60 miles of pristine shoreline.

• The friendliness, southern hospitality and great location of Spencer County have contributed to making it one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Kentucky (population is approximately 18,000).

• The beautiful, 200-acre, USGA-rated Tanglewood Golf Course attracts avid golfers from around the region.

• Spencer County is so welcoming that even the horses are invited to spend the night here! Equestrian campsites and 24 miles of trails at Taylorsville Lake State Park make it a popular place to saddle up and explore the area.

• Located just 20 minutes from Louisville, it’s a natural draw for those who appreciate an out-in-the-country experience with a quick commute to the city.

• Farm tours, the Kentucky Gourd Show (weekend after Mother’s Day) and farmer’s markets (April-October) celebrate the region’s agricultural roots.

Helpful Places for Information

• The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, serving as a reminder of where this growing community began.

HENRY COUNTY

Photo courtesy of Henry County Chamber of Commerce

• Located approximately 35 miles northeast of Louisville, Henry County is easily accessible by Interstate 71. (If you would rather take the path less traveled, there are plenty of country roads that connect Henry County with surrounding Shelby, Oldham and Trimble Counties.)

• The diverse landscape of Henry County offers many outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing and boating on the Kentucky River and Lake Jericho, which comprises 137 beautiful acres.

• Saturday mornings in Henry County are synonymous with friendly conversation at the bustling farmer’s market on the Courthouse Lawn, while the annual Henry County Harvest Showcase in July draws thousands to experience the agricultural heritage and artistic talents of the area.

• A living nativity scene is offered each year in Bethlehem, where thousands of Christmas cards are stamped with the wise men following the star.

• Henry County is home to Wendell Berry, famed American novelist, poet, environmental activist and farmer. The Berry Center in New Castle focuses on issues confronting small farming families in Kentucky and around the country.

• Enjoy clean country breezes and bigger-than-life skies during the summer at Smith-Berry Vineyard and Winery, where kids climb on hay bales during the day and adults enjoy summer concerts under the stars at night.

• Visitors and locals alike mingle frequently at The Kentucky Renaissance Fair in Eminence, which runs for eight weeks during the summer and offers unique opportunities to experience the beauty of Henry County’s countryside.

• Henry County is just an hour from Cincinnati, which makes it easy to catch a Reds or Bengals game. (Sports starsin-the-making can stay at home and perfect their skills at the Henry County Recreational and Services Park.)

• Henry County ranks in the top 10 in the state in tobacco and hay production. The estimated population is approximately 15,500 and growing, due largely to the affordable housing market and its prime location.

www.LouisvilleRelocationGuide.com

high-end homes offer newcomers some compelling reasons to relocate to Southern Indiana as well. Quality builders and developers are dedicated to providing the best in new home construction and design to make home ownership affordable and available in all price ranges.

By 2016, the Ohio River Bridges project will be completed. This 2.4 billion public-private partnership project will add two new interstate bridges over the Ohio River, thereby strengthening Indiana’s motto of the “Crossroads of America.” Southern Indiana is poised for rapid growth in the coming years and we hope you consider joining our dynamic community.

-Wendy Dant Chesser President and CEO, One Southern Indiana

Southern Indiana

Welcome to Southern Indiana! The Indiana counties that are included in the northern portion of the Greater Louisville metro area - Harrison, Clark and Floyd Counties - each have its own unique identity. However, all three offer stable and diverse economies, excellent school systems and many other innovative features, which add to the many reasons why Southern Indiana is a great place to work, live and raise a family. In 2012, an independent audit of the cost of living and doing business around the nation concluded that the Southern Indiana counties within the metropolitan region offer businesses and residents an attractive, cost-effective environment. Clark and Floyd Counties’ composite index figure of 81 and Louisville’s figure of 91 are below the national average cost of living index figure of 100%, indicating that goods and services in the region cost below the national average.

Reasonable land costs and availability of entry-level, mid-priced and

Attractive Scenery Attractive valleys and riversides offer Southern Indiana residents a relaxing lifestyle with picturesque landscapes - not to mention the affordable living, top-rated school districts and world-renowned healthcare.

Schools & Education in Southern Indiana In-state tuition is just one feature of the metro area schools that is offered not only to Indiana residents, but Kentucky residents within the region. This is part of the tuition reciprocity agreement between Kentucky and Southern Indiana. More than 70,000 students are enrolled in metropolitan colleges, universities, community colleges, business schools and technical schools. In addition, there are seven public K-12 school systems serving Southern Indiana and over ten private schools offering various programs and curriculums.

William Clark and Merriweather Lewis met at this location in 1803 to launch their famous expedition westward from the Falls of the Ohio.

Southern Indiana offers a variety of unique dining, shopping and recreation alternatives. The entertainment choices include a wide variety of fun: 50 golf courses (including Fuzzy Zoeller’s courses: Covered Bridge Golf Course and Champions Pointe), 100 public parks, various fishing lakes and tennis courts, river boat gambling at Horseshoe Casino and unique tours at the Howard Steamboat Museum along with other Victorian mansions.

In Harrison County, both the roll of the dice and views of the Ohio River take your breath away. Just 30 minutes west of Louisville, you can canoe a river, hike a mountain or explore a cave. Harrison County is a place where a trip to Emery’s Ice Cream Shop and Butt Drugs will satisfy both your sweet tooth and your taste for nostalgia. It’s a beautiful rural escape, where winding scenic roads give plenty of reasons to take a drive or feed the alpacas at Flatwoods Farm. It’s a place where nature and art are appreciated and a full house is something to get excited about.

With an estimated 39,163 residents, Harrison County offers valuable resources that work together to meet the needs of its growing population. Whether your interest is Blackjack or stalagmites, Harrison County has some unique attractions, including the newly opened Indiana Caverns as well as O’Bannon Woods State Park, Squire Boone Caverns and Village, the Zimmerman Art Glass Factory, Horseshoe Casino Hotel and four unique wineries. As the historic site of the only Civil War battle fought on Indiana soil, Corydon combines nature with history in its Battle of Corydon Memorial Park.

When Horseshoe Casino Hotel dropped anchor in Harrison County, the revenue immediately went to work in the community, providing countless dollars toward civic and educational projects and organizations. The casino offers dozens of games and thousands of slot machines. The resort also includes a 503-room hotel, the Chariot Run 18-hole golf course and a variety of concerts and live entertainment, in addition to fine dining options.

An up-and-coming hot spot for business development is in and around the I-64 Lanesville interchange, where plans are underway for improving the infrastructure to accommodate new business growth.

Icon Metal Forming, Lucas Oil and Tyson Foods are major employers, as is Harrison County Hospital.

Downtown Corydon is an entertaining and appetizing lesson in history. As the original capitol of Indiana, many historic buildings and sites encourage visitors to step back in time and enjoy a slower pace of life. Antique shops, quaint boutiques and wonderful restaurants make Corydon a “must-experience” town in Southern Indiana. The Corydon Jamboree held on Saturday nights and the Hayswood Community Theater showcase the town’s hospitable nature and quest for a good time shared among friends.

Incredible views are around every corner of Harrison County, including the underground passageways of nearby caves.

Clark County is founded on a unique history that includes an important role in the famed Lewis & Clark Expedition. The George Rogers Clark home site in Clarksville has been designated by the National Park Service as an official site associated with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (younger brother of George Rogers Clark) established a base camp and later departed for their expedition to explore the West on October 26, 1803.

Today, Clark County offers residents modern conveniences and an easy-going lifestyle in a beautiful environment. Home to Jeffersonville and Clarksville, Clark County has an estimated population of 114,262, making it the second largest county in the Greater Louisville area.

The Falls of the Ohio encompasses more than 220 acres of the world’s largest exposed Devonian-aged fossil beds.

ECONOMY & ENTERPRISE Greater Louisville has been a major shipping port from day one. General George Rogers Clark founded the city in 1778 because it was located in the best spot to cross the Ohio River before the Falls of the Ohio, the only natural impediment to travel along the whole length of the river. In the 19th century, riverboats carried goods from Greater Louisville to destinations along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Today, the tools of trade are United Parcel Service (UPS) planes, trucks on the area’s many expressways, and railroad cars but Greater Louisville is no less important as a logistic center.

The presence of so many options for transport makes the city an ideal location for warehouses, fulfillment centers, and manufacturing plants. Amazon, General Electric, Ford, Toyota, and Café Press are just a few of the companies that operate facilities within Greater Louisville or in one of the nearby counties.

Logistics and manufacturing are important sectors of the Greater Louisville economy, but they are far from the whole of it. Other economic engines in the region are the bourbon industry, the horse industry, medical research, and tourism are other economic engines. It was Greater Louisville’s economic diversity that helped it weather the recent national economic downturn that put so many other municipalities in danger. The Kentuckiana region has rebounded nicely from the recession, regaining all of the jobs it’s lost and even adding more employment opportunities.

Greater Louisville’s business climate is also favorable for small businesses and independent entrepreneurs. The local television stations and newspapers are full of stories about new boutiques, art galleries, or restaurants opening in up-and-coming neighborhoods. This is due to the optimism of investors and lending institutions. They are willing to bet on local dreamers.

Louisville’ When it comes to its craft beer, bourbon and wine industries, more people than ever are getting into the spirt of celebrating Louisville’s famous and up-an-coming libation brands.

To be included on the trail, at least 50 bourbons are required to be stocked in the bar – some places well exceed that, offering more than 150 bourbon selections.

Nationally, the popularity of bourbon is booming, and people around the country are flocking to Louisville to experience 84

the Urban Bourbon Trail, which features more than 30 stops.

(There’s even an app for it.) To be included on the trail, at least 50 bourbons are required to be stocked in the bar – some places well exceed that, offering more than 150 bourbon selections.

New distilleries are popping up all over Kentucky and one of the leading hotspots is Whiskey Row in Louisville’s downtown, where three new ones are expected to open in 2016. A must for every Louisvillian, newcomers and natives alike, is the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, a multi-million dollar artisanal distillery that celebrates the legacy of Evan Williams, Kentucky’s first distiller.

’s Spirit(s) In recent years, Louisville’s craft beer scene has exploded, and the city’s microbreweries have plenty on tap for entertaining and educating the community about the heritage and resurgence of local beer making. “Lou’s Brews,” is a trail that highlights the craft beer scene in Louisville and Southern Indiana (It’s also bike friendly.) The return of the famed Falls City label, a 1905 brand that was re-launched a couple of years ago, showcases Louisville’s embrace of heritage, while tipping its glass to the future of craft beer making. Bluegrass Brewing Company has been an industry mainstay, while Against the Grain Brewery and Smokehouse at Louisville Slugger Field has hit a home run with thirsty diners.

There are plenty of events throughout the community that celebrate this burgeoning industry.

Louisville’s winemaking keeps getting better with age as the city features two stops along Kentucky’s Wine Trail. Old 502 Winery is the state’s only urban winery in downtown Louisville.

Broad Run Winery is an estate winery and vineyard on 72 acres in the rural southeast part of town. Tours, tasting and special events are a great way to sample the spirit of Louisville. Visit gotolouisville.com for more info on bourbon, beer and wine in Louisville.

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE Greater Louisville residents don’t need much of an excuse to have fun. They turned a two-minute horse race, the Kentucky Derby, into a month long Kentucky Derby Festival. So, it should not come as a surprise that the area offers a wide array of culinary, entertainment and recreational options. The biggest problem here is finding the time to enjoy it all.

Tourism is an important industry in Greater Louisville. Throughout the year, the city plays host to visitors from all over the world. It is home to a great number of unique museums and sightseeing attractions. The Belle of Louisville is the last active Mississippi River steamboat. There is also the Louisville Slugger Museum, Louisville Slugger Field, and the Muhammad Ali Center. Add to that the Thomas Edison House and the Farmington Historic Plantation.

It doesn’t matter if your idea of fun is listening to a live band, dancing to electronic music, or hiking through the woods – Greater Louisville has you covered! It is easy for everyone to find a place to fit in. Greater Louisville has beautiful outdoor recreation, restaurants, art galleries, and nice tunes. The only mandate is that everyone enjoys themselves.

The Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Derby Festival

The Kentucky Oaks & The Kentucky Derby First Friday & Saturday in May Churchill Downs kentuckyderby.com Even if you just moved here, chances are that you have the first weekend in May already circled on your calendar. Whether you’re at the track or at a friend’s Derby party, the Run for the Roses lives up to its historic reputation and offers an experience like no other. More than 120,000 Mint Juleps are poured during the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, and more than 400 roses are included in the garland of roses for the Derby winner. The longest continuously-staged sporting event in the world and the first leg of the Triple Crown of thoroughbred horse racing just keeps getting better and better. The running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May is preceded by the Kentucky Oaks the day before. You simply have to be there-at least once to be a true Kentuckian. Whether you’re cheering on your horse from Millionaire’s Row, the grandstand or the infield, the excitement of watching the “greatest two minutes in sports,” surrounded by thousands of people is what makes Derby such a unique event.

Two Weeks Prior to Derby 584-FEST (3378) kdf.org The Kentucky Derby Festival is one of the premiere events of its kind in the world, attracting nearly 1.5 million people who gather to celebrate spring, the rich Derby tradition and the unique vitality of the Louisville community. With the most exciting two minutes in sports drawing attention to Louisville in many parts around the globe, it’s only fitting that the city takes two weeks to celebrate the momentous occasion. Thunder Over Louisville headlines the Kentucky Derby Festival, with traditional events such as the Pegasus Parade and Great Steamboat Race giving Louisville residents and visitors plenty of opportunities to be a part of history in the making. Two-thirds of the Festival events are free, so families can enjoy numerous just-for-kids activities without stretching their pocketbooks. With more than 4,000 volunteers and the support of 400 sponsors, the Derby Festival hosts a whirlwind of 70 special events throughout the city. By purchasing a Pegasus Pin (located at over 1,000 local retail outlets and banks), you can gain access to the many Festival events, receive coupons and win free merchandise.

A Beautiful Walk in the Park Everywhere You Turn

You won’t have to look much further than your own backyard to enjoy the natural beauty of Louisville. Hosting more parkland per capita than any other U.S. city, there is plenty of room to run, play, relax, compete, socialize and celebrate. (There are even playgrounds for pups and trails for horses!) Louisville’s “greenprint” has grown substantially in recent years through its City of Parks initiative – the largest urban parks expansion project in America. Through the acquisition and development of new parkland, creation of a 100-mile paved “Louisville Loop” and more opportunities for outdoor recreation and nature education programs, the area’s parks offer residents no excuses for staying inside!

The core of Louisville’s park system was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the “Father of American Landscape Architecture,” famous for his design work on New York City’s Central Park, the U.S. Capitol grounds and the Biltmore Estate. Regarded as the defining park system of his career, Louisville’s parks stand today as his best-preserved works, reflecting the genius of Olmsted’s vision of using the unique natural elements to create “rooms” throughout its pastoral landscapes, where park-goers can escape the pressures of the city and simply enjoy the beauty of the land.

Gorgeous mature trees offer shady retreats for picnics along nearby streams, stone bridges and rolling hills, while wide open spaces offer popular venues for sports and recreation.

Newer parks have carried on the Olmsted guiding principles of design. The Parklands of Floyds Fork is Louisville’s latest gem in its park treasure chest. The 4,000-acre, four-park system stretches from Shelbyville Road in the north to Bardstown Road in the south, and when the final stage is completed in 2016, it

will feature a combined 19 miles of biking, walking, running and canoe trails. In just its first three years, the developing park system has hosted numerous events including farmers markets, balloon glows, art demonstrations, guided hikes and runs, community gardens, dog training seminars, fly fishing lessons and children’s science camps. The newest section to open, Turkey Run Park, encompasses 800 acres and includes an extensive trail system for hiking, mountain biking and paddling along Floyd’s Fork. The 600-acre Broad Run Park features waterfalls, towering trees and creekside paths and is set to open in spring of 2016, along with The Strand, which connects the northern and southern parks along the Louisville Loop.

Literally around every corner of Greater Louisville, there’s a park to enjoy. Designed by noted architect George Hargraves, Louisville’s Waterfront Park, an 85-acre green space along the Ohio River in downtown, attracts 1.5 million visitors yearly and has been named one of the nation’s Top Ten Urban Parks by the Urban Land Institute. It hosts numerous festivals and concerts throughout the year. In the heart of Old Louisville, Central Park serves as the summer venue for the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival and the nationally-recognized St. James Art Fair in autumn.

Jefferson Memorial Forest in southwest Jefferson County and portions of northern Bullitt County consists of approximately 6,500 acres of scenic trails and small streams.

The City of Parks initiative guarantees even more wonderful parkland for current and future residents of Louisville, and it’s an impressive testament to the value the city places on preserving and celebrating the natural beauty of the region.

Biking in Louisville Designated a silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists, Louisville is a great place to explore on two wheels. The city’s bike paths and trails are growing by leaps and bounds. Recent and future investments in making Louisville bike friendly are paying off ! With the Big Four Bridge (linking Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana across the Ohio River) opening for through traffic in 2014, more than 500,000 pedestrians and bikes are reported to traverse the bridge annually.

In 2014, $300,000 was invested to build Louisville’s first urban bike network, and plans are currently underway for developing a public bike share system.
