Since its inception in 1996, the West Kentucky Highland Festival has been the place to be every fall in West Kentucky. Formerly held at Carson Park in Paducah, Kentucky, the Games recently moved to Murray, Kentucky, in 2006, to house the vastness of the events that take place each year.



We would like to say thanks to all of our volunteers, patrons and corporate sponsors that lend their time, energy and effort to put on a spectacular show every year. Thank you!

We hope to see you there!
