 First Friday: Out of this World
Friday, May 1 | 5–7 p.m. | Louisville Public Library
First Fridays are back in downtown Louisville on the first Friday of the month. Experience the pulse of downtown after hours with an evening of curated shopping, vibrant art, and local eats all set to a live soundtrack. It's more than a night out!
Make the Library your first stop this First Friday! Join us for an evening that's out of this world!
The Coal Creek Gallery opens its newest exhibit, Astronaut of the Self: Explorations of Inner and Outer Space, with a reception that sets the perfect tone for a night of discovery.
Denver musician Kid Astronaut provides the live soundtrack, while families get hands-on with Artemis II straw rocket crafts and everyone enjoys cosmic refreshments.

Bee City Art Contest
As part of our ongoing Bee City initiative to raise awareness about pollinators and pesticide-free landscapes, we invite local students in grades K through 8 to submit original artwork celebrating pollinators, native plants, and Earth Day themes. Winners receive Sweet Cow certificates, and their work will be featured in a City Council slideshow. All entries will be displayed at the Louisville Public Library throughout the summer. Entries are due by Wednesday, May 13 at the Louisville Public Library or participating schools.
