# What is the Paristown Block Party & Concert?
Equip's Thursday night event, included with your registration. Thursday, October 22, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Paristown.
The Paristown Block Party & Concert is Equip's Thursday night event, and it is included with your Equip registration. No separate ticket, no RSVP. It runs Thursday, October 22, 2026, 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Old Forester's Paristown Hall and the surrounding block, 724 Brent St, Louisville, KY 40204. [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=724+Brent+St%2C+Louisville%2C+KY+40204).
**How do I get there?** Ride there on a free Equip shuttle. Routes 1 through 7 all serve the event, picking up at your hotel and running continuously from 6:15 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. [Check the shuttle routes page](https://help.equipexposition.com/travel-questions/shuttle-routes) to find your hotel before you head out.
The only departure from the Kentucky Exposition Center is at 6:15 p.m., for anyone coming straight from the Women's Leadership Reception.
**Can I drive instead?** Yes, and both lots are free: 712 Swan St and 822 Vine St, a 2-minute and a 4-minute walk from the party. Navigate to the lot address, not the venue address, because Vine Street, Brent Street and the approaches from Broadway are closed to traffic that night. See [Where do I park for the Paristown Block Party & Concert?](https://help.equipexposition.com/travel-questions/paristown-parking)
**What's happening that night?** Live music from The Juice Box Heroes, food from Louisville vendors, outdoor gathering space, and a tasting of Uncle Boojie's Distilling Co., the official show bourbon, whose Homeplace distillery is in Paristown itself.
It all sits in one walkable block. Old Forester's Paristown Hall anchors it, with The Café, Uncle Boojie's, Village Market Food Hall, and Stoneware & Co. around it. Paristown is a historic Louisville neighborhood established in 1854, now an arts district.
**Is the show floor open Friday?** Yes. The Equip show floor is open again Friday, October 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
