Date Night Pick

Jack Harlow at Paristown Hall

Jack Harlow

Saturday 7:30pm

Our very own Jack Harlow is coming home on Saturday (plus an extra show Monday) to play at Old Forester's Paristown Hall. The tour supports his latest album Monica, and features fellow Louisville artist James Savage opening before Harlow goes on for the 2+ hour headlining set. A Louisville legend playing a Louisville venue with a Louisville opener is about as local as it gets.

If You Only Do One Thing

Louisville City FC - Keep Louisville Weird Night

Louisville City FC

LouCity is taking on Detroit City FC on Saturday for Keep Louisville Weird Night with gates opening at 6:30 for happy hour drinks, followed by kickoff at 8. The first 1,000 fans in the beer garden get a can opener keychain as a subtle nod to one of Louisville’s most infamous bridges. IYKYK.

The beer garden will be packed with great local vendors, flash tattoos from Tattoo Charlie's, a vinyl set from DJ Matt Anthony, donation-based haircuts from Anchorless Barber Co, Big Nita's cheesecakes, and goats from a local farm. A great night to get out and support the boys in purple and everything that makes us love this city.
