Due to some ongoing updates and construction at The Yard, we will be moving the location of the festival for this year while they complete those updates. Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp has worked diligently to get the work done for us to host the festival at their venue, but too many challenges have extended their timeframe, and we had to make the decision to move locations.

We will host the festival at the Ravenna Veteran’s Memorial Park, 512 Main Street Ravenna KY, where we first started out. September 12th and 13th We can't wait to see you there!
