About Bullitt County Fair

The Bullitt County Fair in Shepherdsville celebrates a Louisville-area county on Salt River where the salt lick at Bullitt's Lick drew prehistoric animals and later attracted the first European settlers — today Bullitt County is one of Kentucky's fastest-growing suburban counties as Louisville expands southward.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from both the farming families of the Salt River valley and the growing suburban population of the greater Louisville metro.

Visitor Tips

Shepherdsville is the county seat south of Louisville. My Old Kentucky Home State Park in neighboring Nelson County is nearby, and the county's salt lick heritage — reflected in place names throughout — connects it to the earliest period of American westward migration through the Cumberland Gap.
