Six Kentucky tourism teams have partnered to launch a new tourism experience celebrating some of Kentucky’s most well-known attractions.
It’s called Horses, Horsepower & Hollers, and it features prebuilt itineraries that are perfect for families and groups traveling throughout the Bluegrass state.
About The Experience
The experiences range from weekend getaways to trips of four days and seven days.
From the thrilling world of motorsports and horse racing to the tranquil beauty of Kentucky’s hills and hollers, visitors will get an up-close look at what makes the Bluegrass state truly legendary.
This collaborative project is the undertaking of six tourism offices throughout Kentucky, including ShelbyKY, Bowling Green, Corbin, Franklin/Simpson County, Georgetown/Scott County, and Harlan.
Horses, Horsepower & Hollers highlights six key destinations that each offer a distinct blend of cultural, historical, and adventurous experiences.
“We are excited to launch Horses, Horsepower & Hollers and cannot wait for visitors to enjoy this new experience that showcases the best of Kentucky,” said Janette Marson, President and CEO of ShelbyKY Tourism. “We’re at our best when we recognize our shared strengths – this project is a celebration of what makes Kentucky an iconic destination.”

For visitors using the digital Bandwango pass, every attraction visit brings them closer to entering a sweepstakes. The grand prize includes a one-night stay in each destination, along with passes to various attractions and restaurant gift cards.
