LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Several downtown Louisville streets will close this weekend for the return of a family favorite event.
CycLouVia is being held on Main Street for a second year this Sunday, June 11, from 2-6 p.m.
Main Street will close to vehicle traffic from Hancock to 10th streets for the event that encourages people of all ages to get out and about, walking, biking, skating or scooting to "experience downtown in a different way."
"The event not only encourages folks to get out and move, but it is also a way to promote the city's businesses and arts and cultural attractions," Louisville Downtown Partnership said in a news release on Monday.
Businesses and organizations along Main Street are being featured during Sunday's event, including the Frazier History Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Science Center, Ten20 Brewing, Against the Grain, Cinebus, TARC, and more.
During the event, at the KFC Yum! Center, kids will be able to get a balloon animal from John the Balloon Guy or play on family-friendly inflatables. There will also be Best Buddies, Kona Ice — which will be free for the first 100 servings — and yoga sessions, as well as West 6th Brewing.
The Kentucky Center for the Arts will have live music and painting, and LouVelo bikes will be available for free, one-hour rides on the Belvedere.
