Louisville Ballet and the Louisville Free Public Library are excited to announce the return of Nutcracker Family Storytimes, November 18 through December 5, at select LFPL locations. The annual event has become a holiday tradition for families across Louisville. What started out in 2010 as a single event at the Main Library, has expanded to include the Iroquois, Northeast, St. Matthews, Shawnee, South Central, and Southwest libraries.
These free, family-friendly events feature two Louisville Ballet dancers, in costume, reading the classic story of The Nutcracker, along with music, dancing, crafts, and more! Plus, one lucky family at each event walks away with four tickets to see Louisville Ballet’s production of The Brown-Forman Nutcracker.
