The Museum will open its doors from 5:00 to 8:30 PM for both the Art Walk and the Parade of Lights and will give away free Holiday Treat Bags for children while supplies last. This continues the Louisville holiday tradition of handing out sacks of treats to children. For decades, from the 1920s to the 1980s, Louisville community organizations sponsored these sacks that typically contained an orange, nuts in the shell, and pieces of ribbon candy. For many Louisville children, receiving these treat sacks was a large part of their holiday experience. During the Depression, the sacks were even the main gifts for children in some families. Thank you to the Louisville History Foundation for sponsoring the treat bags again this year and for continuing the tradition.
