Annual Gala featuring the ROSE Awards

Our signature event honoring employees in Louisville’s hospitality industry. The ROSE Awards, which stands for Recognition of Service Excellence, are given to the unsung heroes of our industry who have committed themselves to a career in tourism. When our hospitality employees roll out the red carpet for our visitors, they come back again and again. That’s worth celebrating.
