It is also essential to carry sunscreen even though the temperatures are not extreme. Due to the great weather, this season will bring about a lot of fun and enjoyment of outdoor events.

Fall
The ideal clothes to bring to Louisville this season are sweaters and lightweight clothes because, just as in the spring season, one can experience differences in temperature between day and night.
