VENDORS

Every year, our festival brings in an awesome mix of vendors from right here in our hometown and from all over Kentucky. We’re talkin’ BBQ so good it might just make you question all your life choices up to this point—and nachos piled so high they’ve been legally declared a safety hazard. You’ll also find hand-carved art, Appalachian-inspired apparel, and plenty more surprises. We make sure there’s a little something for everyone to snack on, shop for, and show off. Want to join the fun?
