Block Festival for Lovers of History and Pets
As if we weren’t already excited enough to present to you an exhibit dedicated to the CUTEST historic pet photos you’ve ever seen, we’re throwing our FIRST EVER BLOCK PARTY!!
Local pet-centric organizations and vendors like the Kentucky Humane Society, local pet rescues, artists (Corie Brangers), Foxing Book Truck, and more will set up booths on our plaza in Old Louisville on September 30th from 10 am to 1 pm. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view the Filson’s photography exhibition in the Carriage House.
Pet and kid friendly! Splash pools for doggies, activities and face painting for kiddos!
