FRIDAY, DEC. 8
The Brown-Forman Nutcracker Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts $39.20+ | 7:30 p.m.
Its that time of year again! The classic holiday ballet opens for the season tonight.
The Graham Cracker: A Nutcracker Parody Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts School $25 suggested price | 7-9 p.m.
Ambo Dance Theatre presents a parody of The Nutcracker, but reimagined to tell the origin (or, as they call it, the smorigin) of the smore and the story involves LGBTQ themes.
SATURDAY, DEC. 9
The Umteenth Annual $20 Art Show Headliners No cover | 6-9 p.m.
Like its name suggests, the premise of this event is pretty simple: all the art is $20, and most, if not all, of it is local.
Unicorn World Kentucky International Convention Center $39.95+ | 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (last ticketed entry at 3 p.m.)
This, too, is exactly what its name suggests an indoor experience where everything is unicorns, unicorns, unicorns. There are games, photo ops, life-sized animatronic unicorns, ride-on unicorns (not life-sized; these are like the ones you see at the mall), face painting, arts and crafts, and more. (Obviously, this one is not geared toward adults unfortunately.)
Paristown Fête De Noël
Outside Old Forester’s Paristown Hall
Free to attend, but certain attractions are not; prices vary | Times vary
This annual holiday market has photos with Santa, ice skating, vendors, a mini train you can ride, and more.
