Since its founding, the Kentucky Veterans Parade has brought together communities across the commonwealth to honor the courage and sacrifice of our veterans. In 2025, we proudly celebrate our 15th anniversary with a special day of remembrance, celebration, and unity.

Tired of all the leaf blowing and raking? Take this as a license to chill this fall, and just leave your leaves where they are! Fallen leaves provide overwintering habitat for a variety of insects, including endangered pollinators. When you bag or mulch your leaves, you remove that habitat and destroy beneficial insect larvae.
Can’t resist the urge to move those leaves? Blow or rake them into a neat pile at the base of a tree, then leave ‘em be. Learn more about the benefits of leaving the leaves and native “yardening” from our friends at Wild Ones Louisville!
