The Donald is making an appearance in the Bluegrass state.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is the first candidate to announce a visit to Louisville, where he'll hold an event Tuesday afternoon at the Kentucky International Convention Center.

Here's what you should know about his visit:

1. If you want a ticket, you must register at EventBrite.com. The tickets are free and you can order up to two tickets per session on the website. Also, prepare for rain. The weather forecast for Tuesday will bring showers and possible thunderstorms with temperatures in the low 60s.

2. Downtown is going to be busy on Tuesday. For Trump's rally, doors open at 1 p.m. and the event begins at 4 p.m., at the convention center, 221 S. 4th St. Don't forget, the University of Louisville men's basketball team plays at the KFC Yum! Center at 8 p.m. the same night.

3. Trump will be campaigning in Columbus, Ohio, just a few hours before he comes to Louisville. It's Super Tuesday, and that means candidates are vying for 595 Republican delegates in 11 states. But Kentucky is not one of those states. Kentucky's caucus is on Saturday, March 5.

4. To date, Trump has 82 delegates. Candidates need 1,237 to win the Republican nomination. There are 46 Republican delegates up for grabs in Kentucky.

5. Downtown officials have issued an advisory on possible traffic congestion in the center city starting Tuesday afternoon.

6. Louisville social justice activists will host a rally Tuesday afternoon to counter the Republican presidential front-runner. The “Love Trumps Hate” event will be held at the Unity of Louisville church, 757 South Brook St. from 3:30 to 6 p.m.
