Big Four Bridge is Jeffersonville's signature attraction — a 1895 rail bridge converted to a pedestrian-and-cyclist span across the Ohio River into Waterfront Park Louisville. Evening lit displays are a Louisville-metro tradition and walking across the bridge is the most-photographed thing to do in the region.
Downtown Jeffersonville Spring Street district is walkable with cafes, art galleries, breweries and the historic 1890s brick storefronts. Howard Steamboat Museum on East Market Street preserves the family home of Louisville's premier steamboat-building family with detailed shipbuilding history.
Derby Dinner Playhouse on Utica Pike is the region's longest-running dinner-theatre with year-round musicals and comedies; Market Street Inn is 1 mile away. Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville 10 minutes west has the exposed 390-million-year-old Devonian fossil beds and an interpretive center.
Across the Big Four Bridge — Waterfront Park Louisville, the Muhammad Ali Center, the Louisville Slugger Museum, Louisville Bourbon Trail distilleries, and downtown Louisville restaurants. Spring peaks at Kentucky Derby weekend (first Saturday in May), summer runs on river festivals and Derby Dinner Playhouse, fall pulls UofL football weekends and river-color walks, and winter brings Derby Dinner holiday productions and Louisville Bourbon Trail visits. Seasonal highlights include Kentucky Derby weekend (first Saturday May), Derby Dinner Playhouse (year-round), and Thunder Over Louisville (April Ohio River fireworks).
