About Bourbon County Fair

The Bourbon County Fair in Paris is a classic Bluegrass county fair held each July in a county whose name is synonymous with Kentucky's most famous product. Despite the association with bourbon whiskey, Bourbon County is primarily an agricultural community of horse farms and tobacco fields, and the fair celebrates that heritage.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, horse competitions, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, food vendors, and community entertainment. Horse-related exhibits reflect the county's place in Kentucky's thoroughbred industry.

Visitor Tips

Paris is on US-68 about 18 miles northeast of Lexington. The Cane Ridge Meeting House, site of the famous 1801 religious revival, is in Bourbon County.
