One of Richmond’s favorite summer traditions, Pops at the Park is an annual outdoor musical event held each August. Featuring a fun and light-hearted atmosphere with picnic dinners, a table decorating contest, and an idyllic Kentucky setting; the event started in 1983. The event features live orchestra music by the Eastern Kentucky University Symphony Orchestra and a special guest group each year. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnic dinners and beverages of their choice. Table seating is available, as well as general admission (blanket) seating. Add this great community event to your membership!

Many of our guests reserve a table in advance for their Pops at the Park experience. All tables must be reserved through the Chamber of Commerce. Some guests prefer to experience Pops at the Park from the ground. Guests are welcome to bring low-sitting chairs or blankets to enjoy their evening. No outside tables are allowed!

Come out and enjoy a night under the stars at White Hall Historic Site and enjoy a night of music and family fun this August.

Tickets are not available online, however, you can contact the Chamber office to purchase tickets at 859-623-1720.

 Richmond’s second annual Millstone Festival is coming back to the downtown historic district on Saturday, Oct. 1st from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Named for downtown’s newest, “pocket park” that opened in 2019, the festival will celebrate the community and its long history in the milling industry, and serve as a much-needed reprieve from a difficult year.

The third annual Millstone Festival will take over the downtown space with fun community activities, live music, and great local food and drinks. A homebrew contest, car show, and great bands are just a few of the day’s scheduled activities. Stay tuned for more information.
