May is the best month to visit Louisville, Kentucky. The Kentucky Derby, known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” takes place on the first Saturday in May. The Kentucky Derby Festival happens during the two weeks leading up to the festival with multiple events such as Thunder Over Louisville (a massive fireworks display), the Pegasus Parade, the Great Balloon Race, and many others.
You also get mild temperatures for outdoor activities and flowers blooming in various city parks and gardens. Even though you get an influx of people during the Kentucky Derby, the rest of the month is relatively quiet compared to the peak summer months.
