What’s To Do In We invite you back to Bourbon City!
L ouisville is looking forward to welcoming our street rod friends back for one of the city’s favorite annual summer traditions. The city is proud to be the host of the 57th NSRA Street Rod Nationals. There’s no shortage of reasons to gear up for the Street Rod Nationals, especially in a city that continues to rack up national attention. Louisville is coming off a banner year in 2025, with new attrac- tions and continued recognition as a must-visit desti- nation. National travel outlets including TripAdvisor and Airbnb spotlight Louisville as a top “U.S. trend- ing destination,” while the city’s vibrant food and bourbon scenes continue to earn rave reviews.
