A message from Mayor Jerry Abramson

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Louisville! I am happy to welcome you to the 16th largest city in America for the Louisville Irish Fest. I hope that while you are enjoying the festival you will be able to visit some of the many venues downtown Louisville has to offer.

Louisville has consistently been ranked as one of the nation's most livable cities. Our diverse cultural attractions include the Belle of Louisville, the oldest running steamboat in the nation; an eclectic collection of art galleries and museums, including the Frazier International History Museum, the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Louisville Science Center; the incomparable Muhammad Ali Center and 4th Street Live!, which includes several restaurants and entertainment venues.

Louisville truly offers something for everyone. I hope you enjoy your visit to my hometown and make plans to come back and visit again soon.

Sincerely,

Jerry E. Abramson
Mayor
