Like Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders would say, “It’s finger-lickin’ good.”™
Kentucky’s food fests serve up everything from beef to bourbon to barbecue.
As the largest beef cattle-producing state east of the Mississippi, Kentucky shows where the beef is during Harrodsburg’s two-day Fort Harrod Beef Festival.
The Bowling Green Bourbon & Brewfest pours from a selection of more than three dozen fine Kentucky bourbons and craft beers at this event that also includes food trucks, live music and giveaways.
Goetta pretzels, goetta pizza, goetta burritos – goetta donuts? Beloved among northern Kentuckians and a reflection of the area’s Southern and German roots, this spicy regional sausage is celebrated at Glier’s Goettafest in the village that embodies its German heritage: MainStrasse.
All hail mighty bourbon! Go VIP for Bardstown’s seven-day Kentucky Bourbon Festival, which has a growing list of signature events, including the Great Kentucky Bourbon Tasting & Gala™ and Kentucky Bourbon All-Star Sampler™, with a rare chance to meet all of the Kentucky Distiller Association’s Master Distillers. Cheers!
