Mark your calendar: One of Northern Kentucky’s most beloved fall traditions is right around the corner.
The Kentucky Wool Festival returns Oct. 3-5, bringing three “full days of heritage, music, food and family fun to Pendleton County,” per a press release from event organizers.
Held beside Kincaid Lake State Park, the festival celebrates the region’s “rich agricultural past with live sheep shearing, working border collie demonstrations and traditional spinning and weaving exhibitions.”
Attendees can enjoy bluegrass, country, gospel and folk music on multiple stages, sample homemade treats and festival favorites, and shop from a wide array of handmade crafts and wool products. Children can enjoy the petting zoo, heritage games, and interactive demonstrations.
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for youth ages 7–18, and free for children 6 and under. Three-day passes are available for $20 and can be purchased at the gate on Friday or in advance at local banks in Falmouth and Butler. Gates are open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To make your visit easier, a free shuttle service will be available on Saturday and Sunday, running continuously from designated parking areas in Falmouth to the festival grounds.
