June 19 - Juneteenth Jubilee Celebration

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, commemorates the day on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced that all enslaved people were to be freed. This came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, and marked a significant turning point in the fight for freedom and equality.

As part of Louisville’s official city-wide Juneteenth Jubilee Celebration, Kentucky Opera’s Third Annual  “Amplify Songs of Justice” is an evening of inspiring music, art and spoken word commemorating this important date in American History. "Amplify Songs of Justice" is Thursday, June 19 at 7 p.m. Admission is free but tickets are required.    Schedule changes: As Juneteenth is a Metro and Commonwealth holiday, City Hall will be closed June 19.  There will be no waste collection on Thursday, June 19 and collections will be delayed by one day.

Locate legal Short Term Rentals with Metro's interactive map

Short term rental enforcement continues in large part to be complaint-driven, based on public reporting of alleged violations to administrators. An interactive map tool contains all of the registered short term rentals in Louisville having an active permit to rent their property out to paying customers on STR websites like Airbnb.

If you believe someone is using a property as a short term rental but it does not show up on this registry, or if the registry indicates a non-owner occupied property does not have a CUP, then please report the issue here (select “Zoning and Business Concerns,” “Zoning Concern,” “Short Term Rental,” complete the form and submit). Or contact our office.
