LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- One of the biggest art shows in the country takes place this weekend in Louisville with an expected attendance in the hundreds of thousands.

The St. James Court Art Show in Old Louisville occurs annually and features "over 600 artists from around the U.S.," according to the show's website. The show also takes place "among the country’s largest collection of Victorian homes."
