FRIDAY

Kentucky State Fair Kentucky Exposition Center 937 Phillips Lane $10; 7 a.m. You already know what to expect (fair food, rollercoasters, music, animals and exhibits), and chances are you’ve already made plans to go. But, if you’re on the fence, I have two words for you, my friend: doughnut burgers.

Aged & Glazed with Hi-Five Doughnuts Haymarket Whiskey Bar 331 E. Market St. Free; 4 p.m. Speaking of doughnuts, Hi-Five Doughnuts will be pulling their food truck up to Haymarket this Friday to serve up some culinary madness with their best doughnut and Jim Beam whiskey pairings. If you’re having trouble comprehending that, then here is an example: Jim Beam Red Stag with a black cherry glazed doughnut hole topped with fruity pebbles. Or, how about Jim Beam Honey with a honey glaze doughnut hole topped with fresh strawberries?

SATURDAY

Seven Sense Festival  2100 Block of South Preston Street Free; Noon When it comes to local music festivals, it doesn’t get much better than this: 40 bands will be playing in one day on four stages (two on the street, one inside Zanzabar, one inside The New Vintage), seven craft breweries will be on hand to provide that magical golden (or dark brown) elixir we love so much, plus it’s free.

Louisville City vs. Charleston Battery
Louisville Slugger Field 401 E. Main St. $15+; 7:30 p.m. If you haven’t heard by now, Louisville City is pretty damn good. Until recently, they were on a six-game winning streak and they just held their own in a friendly against Orlando City (an MLS level team).

SUNDAY

FoodsULuvBuffet
Shawnee Golf Course Clubhouse 460 Northwestern Parkway $12; 3 p.m. Louisville Vegan Kitchen (LVK) is hosting a full-service buffet of their best in vegan Soul Food and Mexican cuisine! There will also be live salsa, bachata and Afro-Cuban music to dance to (although I suggest dancing before you eat). It’s the perfect event to liven up your lazy Sunday, and for all you wary carnivores out there, trust me, the food from LVK is definitely worth a try.
