Louisville Holidays

Yes, Bourbon is a spirit that comes in a glass, but it’s also a spirit that defines the culture and compassion, the arts and parks and the creative energy. It’s this same spirit that continued and created Louisville itself - a city that combines heritage with innovation, authenticity with originality, quirkiness with friendliness in a way that’s completely unique to the region.

This is an entirely different type of Southern. From boundary pushing twists on Southern cuisine that have made Louisville one of the “10 Best New Food Cities” in America to the one and only Urban Bourbon Experience™, featuring the world’s only, city-wide trail filled with award-winning micro-distilleries, exhibits and craft cocktail destinations.

Then discover one-of-a-kind attractions like the legendary Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, and the Muhammad Ali Centre. And that’s just your first day here.

From the Shawnee who hunted and fished it to early European settlers who depended on it for commerce and supplies, the mighty Ohio River sustains life and Louisville. It remains the heart of the city: the epicentre of the world’s Bourbon and horse racing industries, a city that fosters entrepreneurship, medical breakthroughs, and new technology . . . and a city that proudly welcomes visitors, families, and businesses alike.
