Pride Plates Food Tour: a Taste of Kentucky’s Queer History

Overview

Come out with us on an unforgettable journey through Louisville's LGBTQ+ past and present, while enjoying delicious bites and drinks in The Highlands, the heart of the city’s queer scene!

As we walk through the charming, tree-lined streets of the historic Cherokee Triangle, you'll savor iconic Kentucky dishes like fried chicken, spoonbread, and a Louisville Hot Brown, all perfectly paired with bourbon cocktails.

Along the way, you'll discover the rich and diverse history of Kentucky's queer community, from a trailblazing Black drag queen from the Prohibition era to the poets, writers, and activists who shaped Kentucky’s LGBTQ+ legislature and culture. You'll end your tour at one of the city's best gay bars, where the rest of your night will begin!
