So, here's the thing: Louisville is AMAZING in April and May. The trees are in bloom, and Derby's just around the corner, and there are countless excuses to have a party or just to get outside and enjoy the weather. Here are 10 things you absolutely must do in Louisville this Spring.

Take a walk on the Big Four Bridge.
Attend a Derby Hat Event. I recommend the YWC's Charity Derby Hat Sale.
Drive River Road all the way from Downtown to Oldham County. Preferably at sunset. Bonus points if you can locate Sue Grafton's house.
Go for a walk in Cherokee Park.
Take a cruise on the Belle of Louisville.
Take in the Balloon Glow.
Skip Thunder altogether. The crowds and all those people? For fireworks? No thank you.
Go to the Flea off Market. Or the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair. Or any other opportunity to shop outside.
Attend the Fillies Ball.
Visit a Chow Wagon.

Happy Spring, y'all!
