Louisville Rakes in the Fall Accolades

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (September 26, 2022) Mention Louisville to someone outside of the state of Kentucky and they may automatically affiliate the Southern destination with the Kentucky Derby, the popular Thoroughbred horse race that takes place annually on the first Saturday in May. And while springtime in Louisville may be the most popular, many have started to notice that the Derby City may not just be a one-season pony. In fact, since last year, the city has raked in over a dozen Fall-forward accolades from national travel publications and media outlets.

From being named one of the “Best U.S. Cities for Fall Travel” by Travel + Leisure to one of the “Most Hauntingly Beautiful Cities in the US” by Fodor’s to one of the most “Surprisingly Affordable Destinations for Fall Travel” by Real Simple, below is a list of sixteen accolades highlighting the city, as well as some of its popular attractions, hotels, and festivals.
