Source notes & unconfirmed occurrences
Listings come from the September 28 master list. Unless a correction is stated, event links, admission, availability and recurring October sessions have not been independently verified. An unspecified price is not free admission. All times are Eastern; overnight endings fall on the following date.
Unconfirmed Friday occurrences: Waterfront Park pole-dancing meetup (2–5 PM, red bridge parking area; price/ages unknown); Friday at Floyds (5–9 PM, Beckley Creek Park; season dates unknown); Feel Good Fridays at Truth Tavern (time/cadence unknown, no cover but conflicting “ladies $40+/men $45+” text). These are not counted as confirmed daily listings.
Unconfirmed Saturday occurrences: Eastwood Village and South End Community markets (8 AM–noon; 2026 operation and addresses unconfirmed); Drag Queen Sip and Paint (527 W Market St, $47.19+, 21+); Illusions The Drag Queen Show (same street address, separate event, 21+, price unknown); Give It a Whirl Pottery (Loopy Dough Studio, 4601 Jennings Ln, $75.48, 90 minutes); Social Saturday (date, venue and time unknown). “Multiple dates” does not confirm October 3.
Other dates needing confirmation: Sunday Pilates & Pints at Trellis (10 AM, $10, only a cross-reference in the master); Monday Yoga at West Sixth NuLu, 817 E Market St (6–9 PM, pay what you can, confirmed dates stop September 28); Tuesday Mahjong at Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church, 142 Crescent Ave (1–3 PM, confirmed dates stop September 29).
Cooking Matters: source gives October 6 at 6 PM, Dare to Care, 1200 S 28th St, free, ages 55+, six-session registration required; flyer says Thursdays, but October 6 is Tuesday. Held outside the daily lineup until the date is resolved. FOOD 4 FUNNY at Louisville Comedy Club is also unresolved: free, October 6–December 1 range, time unknown; possible overlap with New Talent Tuesday.
New Albany correction: the Indiana market is October 3, 8 AM–noon at 202 E Market St, per New Albany Main Street. The first-Saturday indoor market at Philip Heit Center is in New Albany, Ohio, not Indiana; not included as a local event. See namainstreet.org/farmers-market and healthynewalbany.org/what-we-do/farmers-market/.
Platform’s Friday line-dancing names are combined pending confirmation. Sunday Brunch Karaoke and Sunday Groove are shown in one listing to avoid a possible duplicate; the newer program’s hours remain unknown. Tool Library addresses conflict; directions and calendar downloads are disabled there. Buti’s October 5 theme is confirmed, but its usual 6:30 PM time is not treated as confirmed for the special session.
Behind the Pink Door belongs on October 1 because September’s occurrence was rescheduled. Beulah remains on Monday October 5; later source labels “Monday October 27” and “Saturday November 15” do not match the 2026 calendar. No October 2 Drive-In is listed; its next confirmed date is October 9.
Undated or season-unconfirmed references are not assigned invented October dates: King Louie’s Bubble Party; Nouvelle Summer Garden Jazz; Date Night on the Pottery Wheel (Loopy Dough, 6–7:15 PM, 18+); Galaxie Smoker’s Paradise; Pride Bar drag shows; Smoketown Smooth Jazz & Blues; Atomic Organic Pop Up; Tribe Grown Vibes; Cat Casual’s Country Cult; Pride Center programs; Halloween pop-up bars. The master also mentions unmerged batches including La Cage aux Folles, Derby Dance Week, Slow Jam and Fall Foodie Festival without usable complete details.
Expired listings and out-of-window monthly events are excluded. Belle of Louisville events, including Throwback Thursday, Reserve event cards, Gruv event cards and discontinued Palm Room Ladies Night remain excluded under standing rules. The supplied nine-venue nightlife footer is preserved. No Save the Date was selected.
