Wear your best hat and clink your mint juleps on your way to Louisville, Kentucky. It’s best known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, held each spring at the Churchill Downs racetrack. History feels close at hand here, as it does in Old Louisville, known for its concentration of Victorian architecture and aboard the Belle of Louisville steamship. Other things to do in Louisville include discovering the city’s baseball lore at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, exploring the Muhammad Ali Center, and tasting Kentucky’s distilling heritage along the Urban Bourbon Trail which offers more than 20 distilleries.
 
Bourbon is a spirit that comes in a glass, but it’s also a spirit that defines our culture and compassion, our arts, and parks, as well as our 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 our region. Cheers to a memorable and once in a lifetime experience.
