[Update: Dec. 29, 2011: This article is old. Read our listing of New Year's Eve 2011 events here.]
The welcoming of a new year is generally one of the most popular things adults plan. And of course there is always way too many options and very few places where you can see it all. So we're culling our resources and to give you this (hopefully) exhaustive list of what's going on for New Year's Eve in Louisville for 2009-2010. Special thanks to the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau.
