Ho-ho-ho!
Look what’s new from the DBA

Check out your newly designed website at www.downtownlouisvilleco.com. It’s been five years since we last updated the site and it was time to integrate new technology and adapt to current user trends. We also wanted to more accurately reflect the dynamic community we live, work and play in. The new site focuses on what makes our community so special: the people. We feature retailers, restaurants and Downtown activities with photos by DBA member photographers MaryLynn Gillaspie and Erin Cox.

So tell us what you think about our new look. And here is wishing you the happiest of holidays surrounded by the joy and warmth of family, friends and beloved pets.

Art Walk takes place Saturday, December 6

Enjoy the festivities and stroll the streets under the beautiful holiday lights. Art Walk is brought to you by the Louisville Arts District. Check their website for complete details. Holiday Lights are brought to you by the Downtown Business Association. Photo by MaryLynn Gillaspie.
