Long-time fans say Kentucky Music Weekend (KMW) feels as friendly and familiar as a back porch party at your neighbor’s house. For 40 years, KMW has celebrated Kentucky traditions as one of the country’s top folk festivals. Sadly, this will be its final year, and, as such, it’s not to be missed. Evening concerts will include performances by more than 20 solo and ensemble acts, including John Gage, Will Owen Gage, Steve Cooley, Mike Schroeder, Hound of the Buskervilles, Mickey Clark and more. Saturday features the Kentucky State Mountain Dulcimer Championship. Throughout the weekend, there will be open jam sessions, workshops and artists and crafters displaying their wares. See you there, neighbors!
