Fondly known as "J-Town," Jeffersontown is a mid-sized city in the Louisville area that boasts a population of nearly 28,000. That number more than triples every third weekend in September during the Gaslight Festival. Residents and visitors alike are treated to the time-honored tradition that features a parade, motorcycle rally, car show and hot-air balloon glow. The eight-day extravaganza is a show of community pride and enthusiasm, as well as a celebration of those who help to protect our freedom.
