Have an Art in the Park Picnic September 13

Go to Hogan’s Fountain in Cherokee Park for art in the park. This fun picnic is hosted by the Speed Art Museum, which is one of Louisville’s best places to find great art.

Picnic in the Park

The Speed Art Museum is putting on a free concert and art event for the whole family. Bring your picnic lunch with you, and be ready to have a good time. Take a lawn chair or something else to sit on, and enjoy the show.

The kids will enjoy an inflatable obstacle course, badminton and other activities. The concert will feature Bluegrass music. The Louisville Food Truck Association will provide plenty of great stuff to eat and drink. In other words, the park’s going to have everything you want during the picnic. Be in the park from noon to 3 pm to enjoy all the fun. The art in the park picnic is free to attend and enjoy. Find it at 745 Cochran Hill Road in Cherokee Park.

Cherokee Park is one of Louisville’s favorite attractions. The park is designed to take advantage of Louisville's natural plant life and terrain. It’s full of hills and native plant life. Cherokee Gardens, right next to the park, has the best chance to take advantage of everything the park has to offer.

Gardens by the Park

When you're in Cherokee Gardens, you'll feel like you're wandering around a collection of country estates. The homes are large and impressive, the lawns are green and gorgeous and the landscaping gives the entire neighborhood the gardens theme that makes the name fit so well.

It only feels like you're out in the country. Cherokee Gardens is close to the famous Highlands area, a community full of shops and restaurants. That's just a few miles outside of downtown Louisville, and all the theaters and galleries you can find there. In other words, Cherokee Gardens is close to all the best of what Louisville has to offer. It only feels like it's a world all of its own.

Visit that world this September, and enjoy a picnic in the park before you take a stroll through the Gardens.
