If you are new to Louisville, the warmest of welcomes! Literally, it has been one of the hottest summers in Louisville I can remember. This heat hasn’t just been sticking around; it’s become an uninvited guest who refuses to leave. But don’t fret, this city can turn even the hottest of days into lively, unforgettable events that’ll almost make you forget about the sweat pooling in your eyebrows (almost).
To kick things off, we have one of the ultimate events of a Louisville summer, St. Joe’s Picnic for the Kids. This massive picnic has been put on by St. Joe’s for the last 176 years and is an absolute blast for the whole family! Catch some live music, enjoy raffles, and plenty of games while knowing all proceeds go back to benefit the St. Joe’s kids.
Up next, we have the Kentucky State Fair, which at some point throughout the day becomes less of a fair and more of a grand contest in how much fried food one can consume before it becomes a lifetime achievement. From carnival rides that make you question your life choices to livestock shows that make you want to hug a cow (raises hand slowly), it’s a celebration of everything big and bold, much like Louisville’s summer temperatures.
Now here is an absolutely shameless plug from yours truly. The Voice Tribune is bringing back its popular Best Dressed contest to the Mellwood Art Center on August 16. This year’s event, however, has a new twist to shake things up from years past. Dogs!! We are teaming up with Wags Pet Therapy and will be having sweet, precious therapy dogs walk the runway with a human in coordinating outfits put together by some of Louisville’s best fashion designers. Following the show, awards will be given to the best-dressed folks in Louisville, voted on by Louisvillians. You won’t want to miss it!
Louisville’s August event scene is a masterclass in beating the heat by turning up the fun. So pack your sunscreen, your sense of adventure, and maybe a portable fan—you’re going to need all three

If you’re overwhelmed with classes and shifts, sometimes the best move is to buy nursing essay online. I did it last semester for a theory paper and was impressed with the results. The essay was original, formatted correctly, and written by someone who clearly understood nursing. It gave me time to focus on my clinical rotations without sacrificing grades. For anyone in the same boat, it’s a smart option when deadlines are too close to manage.
