Light Up Louisville is a free, annual event that will kick off the holiday season in the city! We look forward once again to welcoming Louisville citizens to Downtown to welcome the REAL Santa Claus!
The Lots of Lights Parade brings holiday cheer to Jefferson Street, aka Santa Claus Lane, with dozens of brightly lit groups singing and dancing in the street!
The Vendor Village will take place on 6th and Jefferson Streets. The Vendor Village will feature many wonderful local food and craft vendors selling holiday goods and treats. Throughout the event you will find additional food vendors to enjoy a treat to keep you warm all evening long!

This year we will be working in tandem with Louisville Downtown Partnership to co-host their Downtown Holiday Market! The Downtown Holiday Market will take place at 4th and Jefferson Streets, in the Aegon Plaza and surrounding areas. The event will take place from 2 to 9 p.m. and will be great place to walk to and from the Main Stage at Light Up Louisville and do some additional holiday shopping!
Construction on the Tom Wallace Improvement Project will begin in the coming weeks! This is a $2.7 million dollar investment in one of our favorite sections of Jefferson Memorial Forest. The improvement project includes: an accessible path around the entire lake, a new pavilion, a boardwalk in the wetland area of the park, improved parking, designated fishing locations around the lake, a kayak launch and more! We are extremely excited for this, much needed, investment and ask that you please bear with us during the construction phase. Some areas of the park will be closed for short periods but we will try to keep as much of the park open as safely possible during the project.
For more information and concept plans please visit memorialforest.com and thank you in advance for you patience and support!

 Adventure through the Louisville Zoo as it launches a new winter holiday event — “Qannik’s Beary Happy Holiday.” Areas of the Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland throughout the month of December, providing a unique opportunity to experience the holidays alongside the community’s beloved animal residents.
Families are invited to create memories and celebrate with polar bear Qannik and her animal companions as they enjoy special holiday-themed enrichment activities during the first three weekends of December (2 – 3, 9 – 10, and 16 – 17). Guests can stop by the Zoo’s Gift Shop, December 1 – 17, to write and send a letter to Santa at the North Pole.
The power couple of the season — Santa and Mrs. Claus — will visit with guests when they celebrate the season at the Zoo on December 16 – 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additionally, holiday elves will have special sweet treats available for purchase this weekend, including fresh roasted s’mores, hot chocolate and cookie decorating.
To add an extra layer of festive fun, guests can embark on a monthlong scavenger hunt that promises adventure for all ages. Participants who successfully complete at least half of the scavenger hunt will be entered into a drawing for zoo-themed prizes. Guests can join the app-based game by scanning the QR code upon arrival to the Zoo.
For a detailed schedule of animal enrichment activities planned for our beloved animals and more, visit louisvillezoo.org/bearyhappy. Activities are subject to change without notice due to weather or the needs of the animals.
