Let the festive fun commence! Take your family, friends, and neighbors to one of the many holiday markets and activities starting this November here in Louisville.
Start Your Shopping
The local holiday markets this month are a great place to find gifts for your family (and maybe a little something for yourself).
The Louisville Artisans Guild Holiday Market is going on November 7-8 at Mellwood Art Center. The Louisville Artisans Guild was founded in 1956 to establish a guild of local artisans, and in 1973 began hosting an exhibition to show off the work of its members. Today, you can shop for original paintings, ceramics, and jewelry all from regional and Louisville-based artisans.
Louisville Christmas Craft Market won’t disappoint with over 250 vendor booths showcasing handmade crafts, holiday decorations, and specialty foods. Running November 21-22 at the MidAmerica Sports Center, admission and parking is free.
NuLu Jingle Fest is more than a market – it’s a whole vibe. This festival will help you get into the spirit with shopping, live music, food, photo ops, and all the fun stuff. Bring the grandkids for the petting zoo! One day only in NuLu on November 14.
Kick Off the Celebrations
Bring the family to Slugger Field for its 37th annual Festival of Trees and Lights. Walk through a wintery indoor space decorated with trees, wreaths, and holiday decor. Little ones will enjoy Santa photos, crafts, and train rides. All of this benefits the Norton Children’s Hospital and is happening November 13-15.
Family favorite Lights Under Louisville is back and brighter than ever. Pack up some hot chocolate and take a car ride through the Mega Cavern filled with over 7 million (you read that right!) holiday lights. The event runs daily starting November 13 and running all the way through January 2.
Christmas at Kentucky Kingdom has its share of lovely lights as well, with over 300 Christmas trees, a 60-foot light tunnel, and a Christmas Tree Light Show. You’ll leave feeling merry and bright after spending time in this winter wonderland, which opens November 21 and runs through January 2.
