News & Information about the Republic Bank First Friday Hop

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Republic Bank First Friday Hop event is every First Friday and includes Downtown art galleries, retailers, and restaurants that will be open all day and extended hours in some locations with specials/discounts and refreshments. This family-friendly and open-to-the-public event takes place all day long all over Downtown Louisville from West main to NuLu and as far South at Broadway.

Thanks to TARC, you can travel all over the Republic Bank First Friday Hop in style by “hopping” on our brand new, eco-friendly, zero-carbon ZeroBuses, which replaced the old trolleys in February 2014. The new ZeroBus drops you off at all the best shopping spots downtown has to offer. Riding the Republic Bank First Friday Hop is fun - and it's FREE all day 7am til 7pm.

REPUBLIC BANK FIRST FRIDAY HOP PARKING:
These are the PARC garages that have entrances right next to ZeroBus Hop stops.
· Brown Hotel Garage · 1st & Main Garage · 3rd & Liberty Lot · Glassworks Garage · Market Street Garage · 4th Street Live! Garage
