Things to do in Kentucky, United States: The Best Performances
Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

5. The Stephen Foster Story
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 211 reviews
The Stephen Foster Drama Association has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Season. This decision was made based on the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s current guidelines and recommendations for dealing with the Covid-19 crisis. Tickets for the 2021 season will go on sale on June 1, 2020. Visit stephenfoster.com for more information. The Stephen Foster Story is a broadway-style show about the life of America's first composer, Stephen Collins Foster. The performance takes place in My Old Kentucky Home State Park at the J. Dan Talbot Amphitheatre. The grounds on which the theatre lies once belonged to the Rowan family, who were cousins of Stephen Foster, and is home to Federal Hill, the plantation house that inspired the state song. Some of Foster's biggest hits such as Oh Susannah, Camptown Races, Suwannee River, & My Old Kentucky Home help to tell the tale of his struggle to become the first true composer this country knows, and also to find love among the hardships.
6. Paramount Arts Center

Reviewed By BobSweeney
I have been going to the Paramount since I was a child. Sitting in the front seat of the balcony waiting for the movie to begin. Now I go to see performances and I wait with anticipation for the many different shows to begin. It has been restored to perfection, so I can sit and imagine I am a child again. There is not a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are perfect and the stage has been remodeled so even Broadway shoes can be enjoyed. Whether it is a local performance, watching a Broadway play, Christian concert or star, it will be an amazing time!
