The Old Louisville SpringFest celebrates the beauty, diversity and style of our livable, lovable neighborhood. As such, there are a variety ways of getting here!

By Foot
Old Louisville boasts the largest collection of Victorian mansions in the United States. This National Preservation District offers more than 1,400 homes in a forty-eight block area - grand homes with architectural styles of centuries past - along miles of tree lined streets, courts and avenues. We highly recommend strolling through our neighborhood on your way to our festival!

By Bike
Old Louisville is known for its central location and its bicycle-friendly nature. Second and Third Streets boast bike lanes, and the majority of surrounding roads are either shared roadways (streets with lower traffic and speeds which provide preferred connectivity for cyclists) or signed bike routes (streets with lower traffic and bike signs to guide cyclists). Here are a few great links to find your way here by bike:
