SUPPORTING THE
PARKS ALLIANCE OF LOUISVILLE
Your ticket purchase directly supports the non-profit, Parks Alliance of Louisville, and their community-driven projects in Louisville's 120+ public parks and community centers.
The Parks Alliance believes parks and greenspaces must be considered vital civic infrastructure in long-term recovery efforts to foster a more resilient city. By investing in under-resourced neighborhoods and listening to local voices, the Parks Alliance is transforming public parks into hubs of mental, physical, and emotional health.
