From soulful blues to authentic bluegrass and everything in between, our summer music scene is a whole vibe. Dreaming of a festival filled summer? Set your sights on Henderson.
13 downtown Henderson storefronts came alive last night! They were turned into pop-up art galleries, where local artists displayed and sold their work. Till next year!!

The Henderson Tourist Commission is bringing home both Bronze and Silver Traverse Awards from the Kentucky Travel Industry Association Annual Conference. We earned Bronze for our Gnomes of Audubon Forest experience and our Visitors Guide, and we took home Silver for our Songs of Summer campaign and our multi-jurisdictional Kentucky Americana Triangle project.
We are proud to represent Henderson and grateful for the partners, creatives, and community members who help us tell our story every day. Onward and upward!
