Louisville Zombie Attack

The Louisville Zombie Attack or Louisville Zombie Walk, started on August 29, 2005 as a flash mob, is a public event in Louisville, Kentucky held every year on August 29 at 8:29 p.m. Several thousand participants dressed and made up as zombies gather in the Highlands area and march down Bardstown Road to the end point of the walk. An after party is typically thrown by all the bars included in the nightlife throughout the street after the walk. Some of the bars included are: Nowhere Bar, Highlands Taproom, Big Bar, Baxter's, and many others in the local area. Throughout the years, the walk grew by thousands as word of mouth caught on. The last few years, the walk has generated over 10,000 walkers, with 30,000 in 2013 and 32,000 in 2014. Over 40,000 walkers were anticipated for the 2015 event. It began as a birthday party for three friends, but has turned into a real event recognized by local businesses.[1] The event typically costs around $10,000 to function, but the event is kept free to the public due to donations.
