Review:

Known as “The Avenue” by locals, Historic Frankfort Avenue is a section of road that connects some of Louisville’s most charming and historic neighborhoods.

This vibrant corridor brims with character and is home to unique and locally owned boutiques, trendy art studios, galleries, and bustling cafés and restaurants and an array of attractions to explore, including the historic Peterson-Dumesnil House, the Louisville Water Company, and the American Printing House for the Blind. More than 30 locally owned restaurants offer a variety of dining options, from alfresco to fine dining, while a wealth of boutiques and shops sell everything from vintage items and clothing and outdoor gear to home décor, wine, and books. If you are wondering what to do in Louisville, Kentucky today, this is a great place to start exploring.

The last Friday of every month is known as FAT Friday Trolley Hop, and visitors can hop on and off free trolleys that cruise along the alley and explore the sales, specials, and samplings on offer. Frankfort Avenue also plays host to several annual events such as the Easter Parade, the Olde Tyme Christmas Celebration, and the Old Fashioned 4th of July Art and Music Festival.
