Louisville, Kentucky’s, most famous event is, undoubtedly, the Kentucky Derby, but that hardly means there aren’t other events to love in this southern city throughout the rest of the year. If you’re headed into town in October, here are events to add to your itinerary.

The Big Stomp is a unique festival and the very first music festival in the United States to focus on mental health. Originally christened PeteFest, this year The Big Stomp takes place Oct. 14–15 and features multiple genres of music, as well as lots of mental health-related activities and resources.
Through Oct. 31, more than 5,000 artistically carved and arranged pumpkins light up the night during the Louisville Jack O’Lantern Spectacular. The family-friendly, can’t-miss event is sure to put you in a (delightfully) spooky mood.
