When you visit Kentucky, you may think of hoops and horses. But, think again! There's more happening than basketball and the Derby. Kentucky is a state enriched with interesting history and heritage, music and arts, sports and outdoor activities. With over 227 Kentucky events, there always seems to be a fun festival or event celebrating something or somebody. The three biggest festivals in Kentucky are the Kentucky State Fair, Jeffersontown Gaslight Festival Arts and Crafts and World Chicken Festival.
