Events

The special evenings with extended hours for businesses and a focus on local artists and musicians are planned July 24, Aug. 28 and Sept. 25.

There are several options to see fireworks displays, and many celebrations will also feature free, live music.

The fair is packed with attractions, including carnival rides, beauty pageants, all kinds of food, tractor pulls, a demolition derby, livestock competitions, a petting zoo, and home-good contests.

The festival, featuring four free music shows and more than 70 food, beverage and merchant vendors, will run Sept. 12 and 13.

Supported by a Hopkinsville Rotary grant, the camp is free for children ages 4 to 17. Preregistration is required by June 12.

The fundraiser includes a grilled pork chop meal and a silent auction.

The free concert is planned on July 3 at Casey Jones Distillery.

The museum is offering its popular Downtown Tipsy Tour and a bus tour of state historical markers across the county.

The director of South Union Shaker Village in Logan County will be in Hopkinsville to speak about the history of whiskey-making by the religious sect — and about a new bourbon the historic site is producing.

The ceremony honoring the co-founder of Kappa Alpha Psi will be June 7 at Founders Square in downtown Hopkinsville.

Participants at the Thursday event will be invited to read original poetry, a selection from a favorite author, spoken word or prose.

The public is invited to come for free popcorn and tours of the building from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
