Saturday, September 12th, 11:00am-4:00pm
Save the date for our fourth annual Pawpaw Festival! This community event will feature guided hikes, engaging workshops, local vendors, live music, and more family friendly fun. Suggested Donation of $10.
Due to limited spacing and large attendance, Guided hikes and workshops are pre-registration only. Should pre registered participants not be able to attend, we will fill any open spots with drop in attendance the day of the festival.
Parking
Pawpaw Festival attendees are encouraged to carpool or use alternate transportation if at all possible, as parking is limited. Louisville Nature Center can be accessed from Poplar Level Rd. on TARC bus route #5.
Parking is NOT allowed on neighborhood streets. Only attendees with mobility issues will be allowed to park in the LNC lot. ALL OTHER VISITORS MUST PARK IN THE DESIGNATED LOTS:
The lot between Joe Creason Park and the Louisville Tennis Center (aka The Slab).
Holy Family Church (3938 Poplar Level Road), as close to Mercer Ave. as possible. (Enter the lot from Mercer Ave., directly across Poplar Level Rd. from Kroger)
Please do not park on perpendicular streets off of Illinois Avenue as this blocks local traffic.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors for making Pawpaw Festival possible!
