Kentucky Derby
The locals in Louisville, Kentucky, take their sports seriously. Thousands of people converge on Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby to see three-year-old Thoroughbreds race. The annual competition, held on the first Saturday in May, ends the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival. We can’t forget about the beloved NCAA Basketball Champs, the University of Kentucky Wildcats, the only team with the most all-time wins in the history of college basketball.

Proof on Main
Proof on Main, located inside the 21c Museum Hotel, is a must-see stop when visiting Louisville. Esquire Magazine called the restaurant “a favorite for locals and visitors alike.” The restaurant supports local farming by using locally-grown ingredients in its menu items. And at the restaurant’s bar, pull up a barstool and enjoy sampling more than 50 types of Kentucky bourbon. The restaurant compliments its culinary artistry by featuring rotating contemporary art exhibitions, curated by 21c Museum.
