COUNTRY

HAM

FESTIVAL

in Cadiz, Kentucky

For 48 years, the Trigg County Country Ham Festival has been the annual event that has put small-town Cadiz on the map!

Every year, the town's population of 2600 is eclipsed by more than 50,000 who will come and go, enjoying great food and music, or winning a prize at one of the carnival booths.

It's the family-friendly fall festival that both locals and visitors have grown to love and plan their attendance every year.

“IT IS THE CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS PIG.”
