Waterfront Park: Where Louisville Comes Together 

Have you listened to the music on the grass stars at Waterfront Wednesday? Watched the sky explode with color during Thunder Over Louisville? Strolled across the iconic Big Four Bridge, or watched your kids laugh and play at PlayPort?

If you've experienced any of these FREE events or experiences, then you've felt the magic of Waterfront Park—a place that belongs to all of us.

This vibrant, welcoming space hosts over 2.4 million visitors a year, offering free events and attractions that bring joy, connection, and community to Louisville. But while the park is free to enjoy, it's not free to maintain.

But here’s something many don’t know: Waterfront Park is NOT part of Louisville Metro Parks or its funding model. That means this incredible space—where we gather, celebrate, and connect—is sustained by community support.

💚 We need your help.

Your donation helps keep Waterfront Park clean, safe, and accessible for everyone. It ensures that future generations can enjoy the same sunsets, music, and memories that make this place so special.

Whether it's $10 or $1000, every gift makes a difference. Let’s keep the waterfront alive—for everyone.
