LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The weekend is upon us, and there are plenty of things to do and see across Kentuckiana.
Here are a selection of events, markets, concerts and more happening Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29, 2025.
Barbie Truck Tour
You might be hearing a lot of "hi, Barbie" greetings this weekend in downtown Louisville.
That's because the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention is coming to town.
The convention starts Thursday and runs through Saturday at The Galt House Hotel, bringing hundreds of the iconic doll's fans to the city to celebrate Barbie's influence on fashion and its influence on her over the decades.
While registration for the convention itself has sold out, according to its website, fans can still get a taste of the festivities at the Barbie Truck outside The Galt House.
The Barbie Truck Tour, which is on the road with a "Barbie Sports Club" theme, will also be in the city for duration of the three-day convention.
Guests can explore a special collection of merchandise during the pop-up experience that stops in cities across the U.S.
The truck will be set up in front of the valet area of The Galt House on North Fourth Street, off East Main, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The truck has exclusive items, including a special t-shirt, a track jacket and half-zip sweater, jewelry, bags, a thermal bottle and glass mug, a tote bag, duffle keychain and tote keychain.
Organizers said the Barbie Truck Tour launched in 2019 with the "Totally Throwback Tour" theme. Previous themes include the Barbie Malibu Truck Tour in 2021 and the Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Living Tour in 2023.

Stephen Foster Stakes
Some of horse racing’s biggest names will face off Saturday, June 28, in the $1 million Grade I Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs.
The 44th running of the race features seven older horses with a combined $26 million in earnings — including Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan, Breeders’ Cup Classic champ Sierra Leone, and Dubai World Cup contender Hit Show. Six of the seven entries are millionaires.
The 1 1/8-mile race is a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for November’s $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic.
The Stephen Foster headlines a 12-race card that includes six stakes races, among them the $500,000 Fleur de Lis featuring Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna, and presentations of the engraved Kentucky Derby and Oaks trophies.
First post is 12:45 p.m.
