Louisville hotels and restaurants are expected to be packed this weekend as the city hosts its largest event this month.
Business is booming this weekend in Louisville for the Kentucky Expo Center and the International Convention Center as thousands of players pack more than 130 volleyball courts to compete in the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA) World Challenge.
The city has played host to the tournament before and this year it’s using both the Exposition Center and the International Convention Center, something that is fairly uncommon for events in the city.
“We pitch, as you grow, so do our facilities for you,” said Ian Cox of Kentucky Venues. “This show is one of the few that’s taking advantage of that and we couldn’t be more thankful that they’re staying here in Louisville.”
It is one of the largest events Louisville hosts, ranking in the top 15. It is the city’s largest event for April, and it’s helping the city get back on track economically after the pandemic.
