After a pressing need of the devout German migrants to have their own German-speaking church, the St. John the Baptist, Starlight was born in 1861 in its original form as a log building. As the years passed, generous donors donated acres of land for a school to be built. In 1985, a disastrous fire ravaged the rectory and 3 priests passed away however, this church picked itself up and now is one of the most alive churches. The annual Strawberry Festivals takes place inside these precincts, and is well-attended by Floyds Knobs' people.

Sitting at the crossroads of Midwestern conventionality and Southern hospitality on the Ohio River, Louisville is Kentucky's largest city. This interesting confluence of American cultures has nicely shaped up Louisville's overall essence, dominated by an atmospheric vibe and a vast kingdom of cool. Home to Kentucky Derby, one of the largest equestrian festivals of the nation, Louisville packs in a range of attractions and experiences within its historic sprawl – vast recollections of Victorian architecture in Old Louisville, a keen eye for the arts represented in numerous galleries that dot Market Street, local fairs, races and parades, and a discerning taste for cocktails and bourbons. Despite its proximity to conservative cities along the Midwestern and Southern belt, Louisville proudly embraces LGBT communities, with a wealth of recreational venues sprinkled around The Highlands, East End and Downtown neighborhoods.
