Bluegrass Bock Fest

Save the date! For 2026 we’re proud to announce the Bluegrass Bock Fest on Saturday May 9th at Charles Young Park, the springtime sister event to Parktoberfest. We’ll be kicking off Lexington Craft Beer week with locally brewed beers (and BOCK beers, too!), local sausages, live music, goat races and more! 

Yup, we’ll be “racing” Kentucky Proud goats on an all-grass track by Midland & Third Street. BLEET!

Just like Parktoberfest, all of your favorite Lexington breweries will be set up pouring beer at tents around the park! We’ll have special edition VisitLex Bock Fest stainless steel 20oz cups for sale, there will be plenty of food trucks to patronize, kids activities and bluegrass bands! Free to attend!
