Last chance to win two FREE tickets to Fox Fest 2026, happening this Saturday at The Fox Den in St. Matts. The all-day festival starts at 2pm with a stacked lineup including Flaw, Signal The Revolution, Neon Sugar, Boombox Poets, and more. Cold drinks, good food, and a portion of proceeds benefiting Love City, a community organization serving Louisville's Portland neighborhood. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

Mon-Fri 4-6pm

Half-price snacks, a $5 chalice of High Life, and a $5 shot of the day? Don't tempt me with a good time. The Eagle's happy hour runs weekdays from 4 to 6 with all of the above, plus a $10 Blackberry Lemonade and $5 Apricot Soda for anyone keeping it non-alcoholic. I can think of worse ways to end a Tuesday.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays

Derby Dogs on Bardstown Road is currently running a different daily special Tuesday through Thursday. Tuesdays are 20% off all chili-loaded items including the MayTheHorseBeWithYou chili cheese dog and loaded chili cheese fries, Wednesdays are $1 bone-in wings, and Thursdays take $2 off every smashburger all day, including the Finish Line Feast that's topped with a jumbo dog, bacon, onion rings, and Derby Dog sauce. Dine-in only for all three.

We've got another Waterfront Wednesday this week, featuring Over the Rhine alongside Abby Hamilton on the main stage starting at 6:30pm.

Sellersburg's Dog Days of Summer is bringing food, local vendors, and adoptable pups to Wilkerson Park on Saturday from 11 to 2:30pm.
