Kentucky Festivals and Events

The Great American Brass Band Festival

Kentucky is a state so enriched with interesting history and heritage, music and arts, sports and outdoors, there always seems to be a fun festival celebrating a Kentucky something or somebody.

The Kentucky Derby is, of course, one of the state’s most popular Kentucky events, but if you thought it was just a horse race— think again. The Kentucky Derby Festival, a celebration of the Kentucky Derby itself, begins annually in mid- April and offers festivities ranging from steamboat and ho t air balloon races to marathons, celebrity events and the Thunder Over Louisville fireworks display.

Other cool Kentucky festivals include Owensboro’s International Bar-B-Q Festival, London’s World Chicken Festival, and the oldest bluegrass music festival in the state: Lexington’s The Festival of the Bluegrass.
