Celebrate the music with fans of the W.C.Handy Blues & Barbeque Festival

Kentucky is where my parents were both born. My mother’s remaining relatives still live in the Louisville area. And the  entire state is full of food and beauty and music – and it’s calling us to “come on down” and immerse ourselves in it. Just for starters, pack up your lawn chairs, dress in your best fun clothes, and go sample one or more of the amazing selection of music festivals going on just this June, 2019.

Festival of the Bluegrass – June 6-9, Music and laughter flow as freely as the bourbon, and new friends are made around campfires, over banquet-size meals, and while hootin’ and hollering’ at the artists on stage.  www.festivalofthebluegrass.com, Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY.
