It seems like every time we turn around there is another holiday. Luckily, the Fourth of July is one of the last major holidays until the Halloween season. Thankfully we still have Labor Day!! However, Fourth of July is a very special holiday for all of us. This is the weekend that we celebrate the great nation that we are in (despite political disputes).

So, what is there to do in Louisville for the Fourth of July? Naturally fireworks are the first thing you think of. Even though the good fireworks are technically illegal in Kentucky, this doesn’t seem to stop anyone from celebrating with a backyard show. Some seem to think they can create their own Thunder Over Louisville and put on one heck of a free show.

If you’re not interested in dealing with fireworks yourself, Waterfront Park puts on a massive Fourth of July celebration. Not only do they have an incredible fireworks show, they also have live bands, food, beer tents, and more. It is a really nice, free event in Louisville that the whole family can enjoy!

Of course, if you could care less about fireworks you can always take a short road trip to Madison, Indiana. This weekend Madison hosts the Regatta which is boat racing on the river. This isn’t like the Belle of Louisville vs. Belle of Cincinnati or the Delta Queen, these are boats travelling at over 100 miles an hour on the river. Needless to say, very fun to watch. They have food, drinks, music, and really, really fast boats. It is an incredible event and if you can make it up to beautiful Madison, IN I would highly recommend checking it out.
