Our Story
With a carefully curated lineup of national acts, breakout artists, and homegrown talent, our goal is to celebrate the voices and stories that echo through our hills, hollers, and hometowns. This festival is a tribute to the people who show up, sing loud, and live with heart—because in Kentucky, country music isn’t just a genre. It’s a way of life.
More than just a concert, Heart of Country is a full-day celebration of community. From a hand-picked local vendor market and some of the region’s best food trucks to games, activities, and front-porch vibes, every element is designed to spark joy, connection, and good old-fashioned fun. Whether you're two-stepping with friends or discovering a new favorite artist, this festival is where Kentucky comes together—because we are the heart of country music.
