We have also partnered up with the Louisville Downtown Partnership (LDP) for this year's Light Up Louisville. LDP will also host its annual Downtown Holiday Market on the same day.
The event is in collaboration with Louisville Metro’s annual Light Up Louisville. It will transform the Plaza on Fourth, between Jefferson and Market Streets, with a unique outdoor, pop-up shopping and food vendor market in the heart of Louisville. This festive event offers a unique opportunity for the community to shop local, support small businesses, and enjoy the holiday spirit in a vibrant downtown setting.
The Downtown Holiday Market will also take place from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. and will be decorated with lights, inflatables, and photo-worthy experiences. This event is free to the public. Get festive and join us!
So Downtown will be full of the holiday spirit on Saturday, December 6th, and we cannot wait to see you there!
