Kentucky State Fair Guide 2024 | Louisville News

The Kentucky State Fair is back this Thursday at the Expo Center, packed with livestock, horse shows, live music, and deep dives into agriculture and history — plus indoor food and shopping to beat the heat. Don’t miss local quilt and baked goods contests. If you’re driving, plan ahead: Phillips Lane has traffic restrictions August 22–23 and 29–30, allowing only official vehicles 9 AM–11 PM. Download the fair app for schedules and maps, and buy your $12 ticket online for free parking (or pay $10 extra at the gate). No personal checks accepted — ATMs are on site. Purses, backpacks, water bottles, and strollers are fine, but coolers are banned. Rideshare drop-off is near Gate 1, and nearby construction won’t disrupt your visit.
