What we’re about
Since 2014 the Louisville Anime Community has been a group for fans of all ages who appreciate Anime (Japanese Animation), whether you're new to the genre or an "oldy goldy" who subbed VHS back in the day. We endeavor to connect people with similar tastes, and create fun opportunities (conventions, meetups, etc) for anime & Japanese culture events in the Louisville / Southern Indiana region.
We originally started on Meetup and then moved off it for a time due to system changes. We have about 1.5K members on Facebook, and also exist on Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram.

Kentucky Horse Park Group Event
Kentucky Hores Park, 4089 Iron Works Pkwy, Lexington, KY, USThe Louisville Anime Community is organizing a group visit to the Kentucky Horse Park and International Museum of the Horse for November 15th. Located just north of Lexington, the Kentucky Horse Park features the equine legacy that has made Kentucky an international name. Also, for the anime fans out there, the International Museum of the Horse has a timed exhibition of Umamusume: Pretty Derby that is set to cycle out at the end of the year. We will be going during the winter season, which features more stall-side charts with trainers, giving attendees more of a chance to meet the horses and learn about them. Please also be aware that the on site restaurant is closed during the winter season, so pack a lunch. There will be plenty of walking, so wear your comfortable shoes.
Tickets are $12 per adult, and due to group sales being due before attendance, we will collect payments before the event occurs. The last day we will accept payments is November 5th. Email us at louisvilleanime@gmail.com for payment and registration. We can take PayPal, Venmo or Cash App. Car-pooling to the location is available at a first-come basis. Otherwise, we will be meeting at the park at exactly 10AM when they open if you plan on meeting us there.
