Louisville, named in 1778 after King Louis XVI of France, is the largest city in Kentucky with a host of entertainments and attractions within the city limits. The city is well planned, making it easy to navigate and find parking even within the heart of the city. The Churchill Downs, on Central Avenue, hosts the famous Kentucky Derby horse race. It is held on the first Saturday in May. The Downs hosts a plethora of activities beyond the famous derby and daily races. The Downs after Dark is an exciting night time series of races and the Paddock Concert Series brings musical talent to the spires. The Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum is impossible to miss on Main Street with a huge, silo-sized bat leaning casually against the building. The tour of the factory is always interesting and the museum makes Louisville the southern Cooperstown for baseball fans.
