Louisville’s Signature Fall Festivals and Events
St. James Court Art Show

Stroll tree-lined avenues, savor hot cider, and find your next statement piece for your new home.

Nothing embodies Kentucky’s autumnal magic more than this dazzling nighttime pumpkin trail. Thousands of hand-carved pumpkins illuminate Iroquois Park, creating an enchanting walk-through experience suited for families, friends, and creative spirits alike. Arrive early for food trucks, music, and the festive community scene.
Highlands Fest
Each fall, the Highlands neighborhood comes alive with live music, pop-up food vendors, local breweries, and art installations. This daylong street festival is a favorite among new residents who want to taste Louisville’s famously eclectic flavor. Try a southern-inspired dish and tap your toes to bluegrass on a crisp October day.

Boo at the Zoo
Families (and the young at heart) should look to the Louisville Zoo for this not-too-spooky Halloween extravaganza. Kids don costumes, trick-or-treat along themed paths, and enjoy seasonal treats with the resident lions, tigers, and bears. Boo at the Zoo is a must for residents eager to build new autumnal traditions.
Experiencing the Local Culinary Scene
Autumn in Louisville means harvest flavors! Head to the Bardstown Road Farmers Market every Saturday morning for Kentucky-grown apples, pumpkins, jams, fresh baked breads, and more.

Many local coffee shops roll out pumpkin spice lattes and caramel apple ciders. Try Heine Brothers’ Coffee for a comforting start to a leaf-peeping weekend.
