Anne McCarty Braden Commemoration
St. George’s Episcopal Church
Free  |  Noon-1:30 p.m.
Fourteen years after the death of the legendary, Louisville civil rights activist Anne McCarty Braden, community members will gather to remember her life. Braden and her husband fought redlining by deeding a house to an African American couple in an all-white neighborhood. Martin Luther King Jr. mentioned her in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. In 1990, she received the ACLU’s first Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty.

2020 Maple Syrup Festival
LM Sugarbush, LLC, Salem
No cover  |  9 a.m.-5 p.m.
The drive to Salem, Indiana, is 40 minutes, but the destination is sweet: a family farm and maple syrup manufacturer hidden in the trees. Sample Sugarbush’s specialty on pancakes and waffles or on maple barbecue chicken, pork chops and pulled pork sandwiches — there are plenty of jugs to take home if you like it. Spend the rest of your day browsing the booths of over 50 vendors, taking a tour of the farm or traveling back in time with old-fashioned music, log crosscutting, tomahawk throwing and more.

SUNDAY, March 8
