Join us in Downtown Louisville on the First Friday of every month for food, fun, art, and shopping on The Republic Bank First Friday Hop!
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 LouLift bus, which replaced the old trolleys in February 2014. The new LouLift 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.
