TUESDAY

The Only Authentic Taco Tuesday Fiesta Tacos and Tequila The Ville Taqueria Prices vary  |  11 a.m.-10 p.m. The Ville Taqueria is making a bold claim, that it has the only authentic Taco Tuesday. How can it make such a claim? Well it has “tortillas made when you order,” and “the most amazing tacos you will ever taste!” Best of all, it won’t break your budget, so go and try $3 tequila citrus grilled chicken tacos and $3 tequila shots.

WEDNESDAY

Black Box Film Cult: ‘Empire of The Dark’ Seidenfaden’s Cafe Free  |  9 p.m. Black Box Film Cult is continuing its mission to “bring you high quality crap” every month for you to openly mock and laugh at. This week’s film is “Empire Of The Dark,” a film with a plot that is “something about an ex-cop/bounty hunter who forgot he left his wife to burn in hell or something.” But the true star of the show is the “utterly mind-bending editing and gonzo special effects, featuring puppets, miniatures, action figures and stop-motion animation.”

Connecting Conversations: The History Of Neighborhoods and Race Relations 1619 Flux: Art + Activism Free  |  5:30 p.m. Join 1619 Flux: Art + Activism, a “non-profit focused on West Louisville that unifies diverse people through creative expression as a catalyst for social activism and change,” for a discussion on the “The History Of Neighborhoods and Race Relations.” Speakers include Jeana Dunlap (director Of Redevelopment Strategies, Louisville Forward) and Nia Holt (community advisory council member, UofL Anne Braden Institute For Social Justice Research).
