Gravy Cup

FRIDAY, Feb. 21

2020 CatVideoFest Speed Art Museum
$9 nonmembers, $7 Speed members  |  Times vary
Do you feel guilty for missing the important events occurring around the world because you were busy watching cat videos on YouTube… birthdays, anniversaries, Donald Trump being impeached? Shed that guilt and go watch cat videos for a good cause — helping cats. The Social Purpose Corporation created this 75-minute video of the best cat videos, including unique submissions that haven’t already spread around the internet, as well as some of the classics. This video fest, starting Friday and lasting through Sunday, is now an international event, with dozens of cities screening the film for cat fans, while supporting local organizations that help cats in need. Ten percent of the ticket sales will be donated to Alley Cat Advocates, the Kentucky Humane Society and Lucky Cat Café & Lounge.

Louisville loves its brunch, so it’s no surprise that we have the world’s largest biscuit and gravy competition (claimed).

Mardi Gras Celebration Gravely Brewing Co.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating Mardis Gras a bit early. The holiday is all about excess, isn’t it? Gravely Brewing Co. is making it a raucous one with music from Hot Sauce Brass Band, King Cake shots, hurricanes and a gumbo special from Mayan Street Food.

Margarita Day Party Copper & Kings Distillery

Mercifully, Margarita Day falls on a weekend this year. Copper & Kings is celebrating with Latin-inspired foods, salsa dancing/lessons and a margarita bar featuring different iterations of one of America’s most popular cocktails: classic margaritas, Rosalitas and the smoky Margarita Negra.
