No matter what the season, or time of year, there are umpteen-million things a group can do in Louisville. Louisville is home to a veritable plethora of high-profile festivals that celebrate the arts and culture, reflecting the joy of conversation and community of the city. Louisville is a superstar when it comes to putting on festivals and events.

The first group-friendly event that may jump to mind is that of the thundering hooves of Thoroughbreds echoing through legendary Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby Festival kicks off a two week long party with North America’s largest annual fireworks show – Thunder Over Louisville – all leading up to the legendary first Saturday in May.

In addition, the city comes alive with the glorious sounds music. Discover Southern gospel music at the National Quartet Convention or relive the memories of Beatle mania as great music drifts across the river front at Abbey Road on the River – the world’s largest Beatle tribute festival.

A new tradition, KaLightoscope Christmas at the Galt House is a multifaceted event. Your groups will be in awe of the larger-than-life holiday luminaries paired the holiday music favorites during the dinner show.

This is merely a snapshot of special events ideal for your groups. We look forward to working with you to find that special event that will you are looking for to refresh your tours and help you build new ideas.
