Things to Do in owensboro

Bluegrass: Recently named the Bluegrass Music Capital of the World, Owensboro is home to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum and a thriving music scene!  Whether you plan to attend ROMP, PorchFest, Friday After 5, or another music-related event, you will quickly see why Owensboro was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's “Must-Visit Places Country Music Fans Should Flock to Now.”

Bourbon: At the western corridor of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail is the Green River Distilling Company.  Steeped in rich history and charred oak, the distillery tour is a sensory experience of sight, smell, and taste.  For those looking to further their bourbon tasting experience, The Miller House Restaurant boasts over 600 bourbons in stock.  

Barbecue: As host of the International Bar-B-Q Festival as well as several award-winning barbecue restaurants, no trip to Owensboro is complete without barbecue.  Be sure to try burgoo and smoked mutton - two hometown favorites.
