We'll be there serving our full menu and ice cream treats
Court Day will be here in a few short days! For all our first-time visitors, we've created a checklist to help prepare you for everything you are about to experience!
BRING CASH - "Cash is King" at Court Day. You'll probably need to pay for parking, and those lots will only take cash. We've got you covered. We have plenty of ATMs available for use. Also, many vendors will have access to WIFI for card transactions, but some won't. Bring cash just to be safe.
BACK-PACK - Great for packing a jacket and some bottled water. Also great for carrying all the neat stuff you are going to buy!
WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - You are going to walk a lot! Most of the festival is on pavement, but there are some areas which are on gravel or grass. We recommend some comfortable closed toed shoes.
BRING A JACKET OR SWEATSHIRT - Hey, it is Kentucky weather after all! We've seen it all during this festival. Hot, cold, rain, sleet, and snow. Some of those on the same day! The forecast looks good this weekend. It could be a bit chilly in the morning and late evening. Check the forecast before you leave the house and dress accordingly.
BRING A FRIEND - We can't wait for you to visit! The festival is a lot of fun when you come with friends or families. There is something for everyone here! Besides, you want to have someone to share all this fun with!
PLAN YOUR ROUTE - All roads lead to Court Day! Remember, if you are coming in off I64 you have three exit options. The 101 exit will take you in to the west end of Mt Sterling. The 110 exit will take you in to the north of the festival area. The 113 exit will take you in to the east side of the festival. The 110 exit is usually the busiest on the weekend (mainly because GPS routes you that way). Use the exit which works best for you. Also, remember where you park. After all that walking, the last thing you want to do is have to look for your vehicle! When leaving, the 101 and 113 exits may be the best options.
BRING AN APPETITE - You'll smell Court Day before you see it! You won't have to ask for directions on how to get here, just follow your nose! You'll find something around every corner which will have you standing in line to order another delicious treat. Don't worry, you walk it off!
MUSIC - Two stages. Three days of music. Eat, shop, sit, relax, listen, dance. Repeat.
SHOP LOCAL - We have hundreds of great vendors at our festival. We also have some unique local businesses who would love to have you drop by and see them! The holiday season is right around the corner. You’ll certainly be able to find that perfect gift this weekend for that special someone in your life!
HAVE FUN! You'll make some memories while you are here! Find that item you've just got to have. Discover that special gift for someone which you've just not been able to find anywhere else. Enjoy a Court Day scavenger hunt with friends. Eat some of the most delicious foods ever. Run into a long-lost friend or old classmate. Listen to some great music. See a Mullet Champion crowned. People watch. You'll leave tired but it is so worth it!
