"Happy Birthday" on the Calliope of the Belle of Louisville

October 18, 2021 marks the Belle of Louisville’s 107th birthday! In celebration, join us for a performance of “Happy Birthday” on the Belle of Louisville’s famous calliope.

Since she was launched from Pittsburgh, PA on October 18, 1914, the Belle has been registered under three names: Idlewild (1914-1948), Avalon (1948-1962) and Belle of Louisville (1962). The Belle of Louisville is not only a National Historic Landmark but is the oldest operating Mississippi River-style steamboat in the world!

Belle of Louisville Riverboats presents history through a variety of engaging cruise and dockside events—entertaining and educating over 12 million passengers since 1963.

As a National Historic Landmark and an icon of the Louisville Waterfront, the Belle of Louisville is the only remaining authentic steamboat from the great American packet boat era on America’s waterways. She is also the oldest operating Mississippi River-style steamboat in the world. At 107-years-old and counting, the Belle remains purely steam-powered and paddlewheel-propelled.

The Belle’s sister vessel and a newer addition to the Louisville Waterfront, the Mary M. Miller, was named after Mary Millicent Miller, who also happened to be the first woman to attain her steamboat captain’s license in 1884. With as much spirit as her namesake, the Mary M. Miller is a propeller-driven riverboat with old-fashioned charm and modern amenities.
