Start the 56th Season of Shakespeare in the Park June 1
June 1 is the official start of Shakespeare in the Park, a long-running Louisville event that’s free for everyone in the city to enjoy. Bring everyone in the family to see the show, do a little shopping and maybe have a lobster dinner. It’s all way more affordable than you might imagine.
Two Gentlemen of Verona
The Kentucky Shakespeare Festival begins with “The Two Gentlemen of Verona.” It’s an all-ages show that's free for everyone to enjoy. That's right: free. Just come to Central Park, at the heart of the Old Louisville neighborhood, to experience the best of Shakespearian living.
In today’s day and age, Shakespearian living includes a visit to Will’s Gift Shop. Grab a drink at Will’s Tavern before the pre-show entertainment, or grab something to nibble on at the Longshot Lobsta & Dessert Truck. Brown-Forman will provide the drinks and the Louisville Food Truck Association is happy to offer up the eats. The Festival officially begins at 7 pm, and the show starts at 8.
The show is at the C. Douglas Ramey Amphitheater in Central Park at 1340 S. 4th Street. That’s at the heart of one of the most famous communities in the city: Old Louisville.
