The Kentucky State Fair gets underway Thursday, August 14th in Louisville and runs through Sunday, August 24th.

At my radio station, the Kentucky State Fair is a beloved annual tradition and I can’t wait to visit again. We’re already making plans and I thought I would give you some advice as you’re making yours.
My love for the Kentucky State Fair goes well beyond the last twenty years though. I remember piling into my car with some friends and heading to the fair to see Chaka Khan in concert back in the early 90s. I remember doing the same thing to see Pat Benatar. And while the concerts are certainly a huge draw, there are infinite reasons to make a trip to the Louisville Fair and Exposition Center.
In advance of this year’s event, I have put together a list of 5 Things You Must Do at the 2025 Kentucky State Fair. This list has compiled with love and nearly thirty years of fair-going experience. So, here we go!
