Lavender Festival

Celebrating our history of property-grown lavender, this is our sixth-annual Lavender Festival where we invite guests to come and see all The Kentucky Castle has to offer on our grounds!
With this ticket, guests can handpick their fresh lavender bundles from our lavender fields as well as learn about the various ways it can be used in everyday life. Guests are invited to browse our market vendors, enjoy delicious food from local food trucks, and listen to live music while exploring the Castle and Farm grounds.
In addition to our market vendors, food trucks, and live music, there will be one-hour Farm Enrichment Activities and Workshops each day at 11 AM and 2 PM.
Saturday, June 14th is the Lavender Festival Family Day with additional activities for kids of all ages like face painting, a scavenger hunt, and surprise visits from Cinderella and Rapunzel in our Grand Ballroom!
