Local
Seasons:
Louisville has
four beautiful, very distinct seasons. Anytime of the year is the perfect time
to visit this truly amazing city. There is just enough snow in the winter to
make the scenery exquisite. Spring is an exciting time. There are six
festivals alone in April leading up to the big annual event, the Kentucky Derby
in mid-May. With high temperatures in the mid-70’s F during this time, it’s the
perfect time for all of those outdoor activities. Summer is the perfect time to
enjoy one of the country’s greatest theme parks, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. And
if you happen to be lucky enough to visit in the fall, you are in for a great
time. With the cooler temperatures bringing the change of season, there is
nothing like fall foliage, Kentucky style.
