Annual Fete de Noel Returns to Louisville’s Paristown Neighborhood

Ice-skating, holiday market, Santa House and the new Paristown Express train bring holiday joy

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (December 5, 2022) — Paristown’s Fourth Annual Fête de Noël is spreading holiday joy through Jan. 2. The winter holiday festival includes an outdoor, 100’ x 40’ real holiday ice-skating rink located in the heart of Paristown. This year, Fête de Noël will also include the Paristown Express -- a new trackless train for young and old alike, Santa’s House with Santa visits, an expanded Brent Street Holiday Market with market shoppes and Scrooge & Marley’s holiday-themed Escape Room.

Paristown’s Fête de Noël holiday visitors can enjoy food and beverage options at The Café and the brand-new Village Market food hall. Both The Café and the Village Market food hall are open seven days per week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The new food hall has five local, independent restaurant concepts to choose from -- Jeff’s Donuts Ramble, Taco Rito, Bunz Burgerz and Sarap Filipino Eatery. In addition, favorites like Kentucky Hot Cocoa — with or without Woodford Reserve – and a selection of delicious specialty cocktails with Finlandia Vodka, Bailey’s and Guinness will be among the adult beverages featured at the rink-side concession stand and the “Abominable Bar.”

Stoneware & Co., the iconic Kentucky lifestyle brand located in Paristown and known for unique, hand-crafted treasures perfect for holiday gift giving, will maintain special holiday hours in their spectacular retail space. Stoneware & Co. will be participating in a number of special promotional events throughout the holiday season and will continue to feature their popular “paint your own” Christmas ornament experience.
