Reasons to Celebrate Halloween in Louisville, Kentucky

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

12

Halloween season is the best time to visit Louisville (other than Derby season, of course). Fall in Louisville, KY, means crunchy colorful leaves, crisp breezy air, pumpkins, bourbon, and apple cider.

1. Haunted Houses

There are a huge amount of Haunted Houses in Louisville annually, a fact that is directly tied to the thriving local theater scene. Actors love a chance to douse themselves in fake blood and chase after terrified guests while wielding chainsaws.

2. Bourbon Tastings

Just like California has Napa Valley (and Paso Robles), Kentucky has The Bourbon Trail. Bourbon is Kentucky’s proudest creation.

3. Cemeteries

There’s nothing like a cemetery to get you in that spooky Halloween mood. Particularly a giant, historic one like Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.

4. Cherokee Park

Winding throughout the park are well-maintained trails which criss-cross the main roads through the park and pass through dense forests and luscious hills.

5. Eat Donuts

These picturesque natural features are a favorite site for many tourists, from the hundred-foot drops to the delicate drips.

6. Pumpkin Patches

Kentucky (and Southern Indiana) is full of orchards and pumpkin patches!

7. Apple Picking

While you're visiting the pumpkin patches, you can also go apple picking!
