Travel Note
Getting to the Venue
Yes, your phone can navigate you here — we recommend it! But if you’re the type who loves a good story, here’s how it goes: - From Louisville via US-60 East The scenic route through horse country — you’re practically already celebrating. Head east on US-60 out of Louisville and just keep going — you’ll pass through some genuinely lovely Kentucky countryside, so enjoy it. As you roll into Shelbyville, US-60 becomes Main Street. Follow it right into downtown, and 524 Main St — The Gatsby will be on your right. You can’t miss it. It looks exactly like a place where something glamorous is about to happen. - From I-64 — Exit 32 (KY-55) Fun fact: KY-55 also runs all the way down to Lebanon, KY — but you’re not going there today. Today you have a wedding to attend. Take Exit 32 and turn left onto KY-55 East. Follow it until you hit US-60, then turn right. US-60 will carry you straight into downtown Shelbyville and become Main Street. 524 Main St — The Gatsby will be on your right. You’re done. Go be glamorous. - From I-64 — Exit 35 (KY-53 / Mount Eden Rd) Fun fact: This is also the exit for the Candlewood Suites — so if you’re staying with us, you’re basically already a local. Take Exit 35 and turn left onto KY-53 / Mount Eden Rd. Head north and turn left onto US-60, which will wind its way into downtown Shelbyville and become Main Street. 524 Main St — The Gatsby will be on your right. See you inside.
Travel Note
Parking
Good news: parking is free, plentiful, and close. Bad news: there is no bad news. On-Street Parking — Main Street — Classic parallel parking right out front. If you can parallel park, this is your moment to shine. Main Street Lot (north side of Main St, near 7th) — A public lot just up the block, tucked in off Main Street. Easy to spot, easy to park. Plaza Lot (south side, between 6th & 7th) — A bit further west but plenty of space. A leisurely one-block walk and you’re there. Henry Clay Lot (Henry Clay St, south of the venue) — Right behind The Gatsby via 6th Street. Arguably the most convenient lot of the bunch — and it sounds distinguished, which fits the occasion. When in doubt, drop a pin on The Gatsby, 524 Main St, Shelbyville, KY 40065 and let your GPS handle the rest.
