The 7 Best Cultural Events in Kentucky, United States

October 17, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

We're back for 2020, with an all new drive-thru experience! More than 5000 artistically carved pumpkins illuminate beautiful Iroquois Park, nightly from October 1 - November 1.

Okay, the long wait in the car in line seems like it won't he worth it. We were in the car line for about an hour. Then when you finally reach the pumpkins, it is all worth the wait. So cool! They do a fantastic job. The pumpkin designs are amazing and the themed selections with music make this a wonderful experience! Kids loved it and so did us adults!
