HOPKINSVILLE, KY – The highly anticipated 9th Annual Summer Salute festival is making a significant change for 2025 by shifting to a new, cooler weekend. Traditionally held in late August, Summer Salute will now take place on Sept. 12 and 13. This adjustment comes in response to valuable feedback from community members and results from recent event surveys. The decision to move Summer Salute to September is aimed at creating a more comfortable experience for everyone involved-event staff, vendors, and attendees alike.
