No, you arenât imagining things, there is really a herd of giant, pink snails creeping across Louisville. đ
Have you seen them popping up around town?
This is the Pink Snail Migration, a traveling art installation to raise awareness for the Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program, which provides support for early detection, education, and care for people impacted by breast cancer.
You will see lots of them around town as they migrate to be special guests at Steveâs Derby Eve: A Darker Shade of Pink on May 1st @21clouisville .
Follow @pinksnailmigration to stay aware of where the snails will land next, and for live updates.

Okay soo⌠whatâs the deal with these snails? đ¤đđ¸
Theyâre mysterious, massive, and very hard to miss.
They appeared on Friday, and since then, theyâve begun to slowly move to downtown Louisville.
If you see one, be sure to check it out quickly⌠they may be somewhere else by tomorrow!!
If your business would like to sponsor a snail, DM us! We might be able to send one your way đ
Weâve already started to get some press đ follow us now to watch this movement take off!
Slow and steady wins the race. Letâs make this fundraiser go down in history đŞ

Donât know what to do after that late post time? Donât worry â the party doesnât have to stop after the race is run. đđ
After a day at Oaks, keep the energy going at Steveâs Derby Eve: A Darker Shade of Pink â the final chapter of the Pink Snail Migration and one of the most anticipated nights of Derby week.
Over the last few weeks, Louisville has watched giant pink snails slowly make their way across the city, turning landmarks pink and raising awareness for the Norton Cancer Institute Breast Health Program.
Think incredible atmosphere, a packed room, art, music, fashion, and that kind of Derby weekend energy you only get once a year â all tied to a cause that actually means something.
If youâre already coming into town for Derby, this is your sign to make a full weekend out of it. This is one of those âyou had to be thereâ Louisville moments. đđ

Where are the snails now??
Well, although theyâve all made it downtown, theyâre still taking their time getting to the party. Some stopped for food, others a baseball game, and some just want to see the beautiful sights Louisville has to offer.
How many snails have you seen? One? Ten? All of them? Let us know!
And a few tickets are still available for Steveâs Derby Eve â you wonât want to miss it. Anybody whoâs anybody⌠and any snail whoâs any snail⌠will be there. Will you?

Hi friends! Laura Lee and I always believed art is meant to be sharedâand thatâs how this all started. Iâve been âjust crazy enoughâ to move my giant, pink sculptural snails from Woodland Farm all the way to downtown Louisvilleâjust in time for our Derby Eve party. Itâs a celebration of community art, but also a fundraiser for Norton Cancer Instituteâs Healthy Breast Program. So yeah, art for everyoneâand doing some good, too!

đPINK SNAIL đ¤ TEAM PINKđ
The @pinksnailmigration has made a stop at Assumption today in celebration for our 19th annual Pink and White Game! The Pink Snails and Pink and White have something in common... a great cause! The Pink Snail Migration is a moving art installation in support of @nortonhealth , providing funding for resources and care for those affected by breast cancer. The Pink and White Game partners with Norton and @gildasclubkentuckiana to raise funds and awareness for the same important cause đ
Together, Assumption, @shalouisville , @stxtigers , and @thsrocks have raised more than $446K since the first Pink and White Game in 2008. Tonight when Team Pink and Team White compete, when St. Xavier and Trinity dance at halftime, and when we're all cheering in the stands, let's remember the reason for all of this and honor those who are affected by breast cancer.
Stay tuned for more cute pics and content with our Pink Snail đ She's TEAM PINK all the way!! đ #PinkSnailMigration #PinkandWhite #TEAMPINK #BreastCancerAwareness
