January Events Around Kentucky

4th Street Live NYE Party

January in Kentucky can be hit or miss with weather. We could get a beautiful day one day, and chilled to our bones the next. Although January is often known as a “Slow” month full of people sticking strong to their resolutions (right?!), there’s still events around the state that anyone can enjoy from cultural celebrations to outdoor adventures and artistic showcases to things you can do this weekend! So grab your coat, lace up your boots, and get ready to experience the best of Kentucky in winter.
