Basic Description: Louisville’s Waterfront Park prides itself on being a front door to our beautiful city. All are welcome to enjoy its riches, whether that be to bike ride, have a picnic, do yoga, play frisbee, or trek across the Big Four Bridge. One can find solitude watching the sunset or can join the masses at a concert or athletic event.
Highlights: The following events return in April: PNC Tour de Lou, a cycling experience for beginner to experienced riders of all ages; Thunder Over Louisville Airshow and Fireworks; Brunch and Bark, a pop-up food truck event with dogs; WFPK Waterfront Wednesday concert season kick-off; and Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront. Quote: “Waterfront Park is a treasured community asset with more than 85 acres of welcoming green space along the Ohio River in downtown Louisville. More than 2.2 million people visit the park each year to enjoy its public art, special events, the Big Four Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge, tranquil picnic careers, award-winning riverwalk, children’s playgrounds, and unparalleled sunsets. There is an experience for everyone at Waterfront Park,” says Deborah Bilitski, president/executive director of Waterfront Park.
