Kathryn Harrington's Society

By Kathryn Harrington 

February in Louisville is shaping up to be a whirlwind of quirks, celebrations, and unforgettable moments! While this month is the time for gala season to really start picking up, I’m going to throw a few curve balls in the mix to keep you on your toes. 

First up, the Louisville Oddities & Curiosities Expo invites all curiosity aficionados to explore an eclectic array of weird artifacts and bizarre collectibles. It’s a massive treasure hunt for the delightfully strange, and I cannot wait! It’s a not-to-miss spot for those who love to marvel at the unusual and celebrate the wonderfully odd side of life. This is definitely the place to embrace your inner weirdo and collect something nobody else will ever understand. 

Up next, the Woman Owned Wallet Galantine’s Bash will be an afternoon of fun, fashion, and incredible company, all dedicated to uplifting women entrepreneurs and innovative ideas. It’s a perfect excuse to dress up, cheer on local women making waves, and perhaps even find that special gift for your favorite gal pal. What could be better?

And let’s not forget the grand finale, the Lunar New Year Dinner and Auction at the Speed Art Museum celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse. This annual gala, hosted by the Asia Institute - Crane House, will be a festive evening of community and connection, woven together with a multi-course meal of incredible flavors. This event is a wonderful way to honor Asian culture and tradition while enjoying Louisville’s vibrant arts scene.

So whether you’re into the weird, the wonderful, or the culturally rich, there’s no shortage of events to inspire, entertain, and connect you with Louisville’s lively spirit!

Cheers to a month that will be as vibrant as it is varied!
