The 47th Annual Trigg County Country Ham Festival

Live Music

Good vibes and rich tones fill the air throughout the entire downtown. You can expect that edgy electric guitar, those nostalgic warm riffs, the thumping groove of drums and of course, the smooth recipe of melody and vocal harmonies calling you to take a closer seat.

Carnival Rides

You’ll find a whole host of fun mechanical rides at West Cadiz Park. Only riding a few times?  Then purchase tickets as needed (discount for purchasing a book of 30).

Or the kids can reserve an “All You Can Ride” bracelet that gets them access the entire time.

Rides often open (weather permitting) the Thursday evening before the official Friday morning kick-off—and stay open until Sunday afternoon.

Car Show

This trusty Ham Fest attraction is known as the destination to find some of the rarest, hottest, sportiest, classiest cars and trucks that ever came off the assembly line.

Two stages will feature live acts and music groups.

Renaissance Stage, uptown, beside Purple Pig Antiques and adorning the WKDZ Radio logos.

The “Old Cee Bee” Parking Lot stage: Located down the hill, on the left (where the old IGA used to be – and where the Farmer’s Market and Junque Fest are normally held).

Over 225 Vendors will be on site with music going on all two days with Special Musical Entertainment on Friday and Saturday Nights.

Carnival rides and games, Country Ham Contest, Car and Truck Show, Favorite Festival Foods available, Fireworks will wrap the fest Saturday night.
