FRIDAY
UFOs Over Kentucky Louisville Free Public Library, Western branch Free | 3 p.m. In honor of World UFO Day (July 2), LFPL’s Western library is hosting a presentation focused on the odd, unusual and surprisingly frequent sightings over Kentucky.

Popsicles with Police Cocoberry Pops Free | 6-8 p.m. OK, you may be scoffing right now at the idea of eating popsicles with the police, but hear us out for a second. This is a chance to bridge the growing divide in America, if only for a moment. A chance for the police to show you that not all of them are bad apples, and a chance for you to show the police that you are more than just a protester or a potential threat. This event may not change the world, but it could put a face to the other side of a debate, instead of a caricature. For any questions about the event, call 574-7010.
‘Rebel Without A Cause’ (1955) Louisville Palace $5 | 8 p.m. Ever wonder why people like James Dean so much? Watch this movie, and you’ll understand. The film is a classic, so much so that it was added to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry after being deemed "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant." Also worth noting, “Rebel Without a Cause” and James Dean specifically were inspirations to Tommy Wiseau in his masterpiece, “The Room.”
