Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, which means most of us will choose to celebrate this weekend instead of mid-week.
So where’s the party at? All over town.
What kind of activities? Tons of varieties, but most, if not all, involve costumes.
So if you don’t have your Halloween costume picked out, get on it. Need some suggestions?
Check out Louisville Halloween website or visit one of our famous local shops like Caufields Novelty or Louise Cecil Costumes. We mentioned these in a previous e-newsletter, but we’re guessing you won’t mind the reminder.
Got an extra costume or two you want to take out on the town? Find more events by clicking on the local calendars on our events page.

Some party crasher at the corporate monolith, or a Louisville power couple who lives the life?
