Date Night Pick
Trivia Night at The Zoo

Louisville Zoo
Wednesday 6:30pm
The Louisville Zoo is hosting an after-hours Trivia Night on Wednesday, and the theme is a mystery. They're keeping it under wraps until that night, which is half the fun. The format includes food and drink specials, plus prizes for the top three finishing teams. A Wednesday night out that's more interesting than your usual options.

Family-Friendly Picks
Reggae Reunion at Carrie Gaulbert Cox Park

Reggae in the Ville
Saturday 12-8pm
The 6th Annual Reggae Reunion brings a free day of Caribbean music, food, and culture to Carrie Gaulbert Cox Park on Saturday from noon to 8. The lineup includes MASIV, T. Natty, and Universal Xpression on the music side, with the Envision Dance Company performing throughout the day alongside a vendors market. A great way to spend a (free) family afternoon on the waterfront celebrating Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago Independence.

Peach season is getting its own festival at Hop Atomica on Saturday, running noon to midnight.
