"The other equally compelling reason we wanted to move forward is because we recognize how beloved this event is and how difficult it's been to maintain any sense of normalcy during these times," Pardue said. This year's theme will be "A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Magical Places,” featuring a collection of "special places" such as the Wild West, deep outer space and a tropical rain forest. Proceeds from the event benefit the Louisville Parks Foundation and the 120-plus public parks in Louisville. "This is a fundraiser for our public parks and I think people have a renewed appreciation of the healing value of our public green spaces given everything we are going through this year." "We wanted to press on for a couple of reasons," Pardue said. The options for the Louisville Parks Foundation were either become a drive-thru event or cancel it altogether.

Tickets will cost $35 per car, SUV or minivan, or $50 per passenger van, RV or limousine. 1, the event will be held as a drive-thru, from 7:30-11 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights.
