We have a couple of golf carts that will be cruising around looking for folks who need a ride. Or ride your bike! There will be bike racks from Bicycling for Louisville on either side of the amphitheater as well. No coolers or outside alcohol allowed. Bring your sunscreen, your good attitude, stay hydrated & please support our vendors as that also supports the Jubilee. See you soon ❤️
