Question I know you get this question a lot but I really want an outside wedding in October, 2008 in Louisville, KY and want to know which weekend in october would be the nicest weather...when do the leaves change?
Answer The peak foliage in Louisville is in the second half of the month. So, a wedding AFTER the 15th would probably be best. Of course, it is also getting cooler then. The normal high on October 15th is 69, and the normal high by the 31st is down to 62.
