Queer Louisville: Kentucky LGBTQ+ Walking Tour with Cocktail
Overview
Come out with us and explore the Queer stories of Louisville’s past! Get to know the gays of Glitterball City on this 1.5-hour walking tour.
Uncover the stories that shaped the city’s LGBTQ+ community as you stroll along Bardstown Road and historic Cherokee Triangle in the heart of the Highlands, Louisville’s gay-borhood. Along the way, we’ll stop at a beloved local bookstore and cultural cornerstone of the neighborhood that champions diverse voices and Queer literature, before finishing the experience where so many Queer stories unfold: inside one of Louisville’s best gay bars.
From a trailblazing Black Prohibition-era drag performer to the poets, authors, rebels, and activists who carved out space in the Bluegrass State, you’ll discover how Louisville became a beacon of resilience, creativity, and celebration – and how Kentucky’s Queer story defies stereotypes.
