Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder!
Ready to plan your next getaway but not sure where to stay? From lakefront resorts and budget-friendly inns to Bed & Breakfast to VRBO, Grand Rivers has it all. Indulge in the lake life at one of the award-winning marinas, or get back to nature at one of the local campgrounds or cabin rentals. Find your “home away from home” at one of the Vacation Rentals By Owner properties. No matter your budget, group size, or needs, there’s always the perfect place for you here.
Worth circling twice on your Spring calendar - Bluegrass, Brew, & BBQ Festival in Grand Rivers, KY on Fri, April 28th and Sat, April 29th. Eight Bluegrass Bands featuring headliner Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder!
I enjoy brew and I can dig into a plate of BBQ like the world depends on it…but I love live Bluegrass music. And man, I have particularly always loved the music of Ricky Skaggs.
One Skaggs tune that makes my heart jump is an instrumental number called "Missing Vassar." I used to play that one on the Rye Rambler frequently while hosting groups out on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail tours years ago. It was the perfect tune to play on the bus speakers when jumping on I-64 West to sprint back to Louisville after a long day.
Seven other Bluegrass acts take the stage that weekend including The Todd County Boys and Kings Highway. The Festival will be home to numerous barbeque vendors, craft beer (and bourbon!) vendors, and retail tents.Tickets run $30 to $60, but entrance for all kiddos 10 years old and under is free!
It all happens on 4/28 and 4/29 at Little Lake Park in Grand Rivers, KY right next to Land Between The Lakes.
Ricky Skaggs goes on at 6 PM Saturday and I’m hoping on my magic mandolin that he plays “Missing Vassar.” (or at least “Country Boy”!)
Find the link to tickets & more details in my bio! Maybe I’ll see ya there…

I’m a firm believer that it is never too early to make some road trip travel plans for summer. There are endless destinations around the area that I’m eager to explore with the family and Thidwick the Trusty Minivan.
One spot that recently moved right to the top of that list: Grand Rivers, Kentucky.
I had a chance to visit this awesome little Western Kentucky town last week and was already planning a trip back before I left. Located just across the northern bridge of the massive Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, Grand Rivers is a small community packed with eye-catching antique stores, bike trails, cabins and inns, an enticing ice-cream shop, a large pier & dock and, of course, the famed Patti’s 1880s Settlement.
I’m thinking the plan will be hiking and boating during the day, bourbon on the back deck in the evening….and the most amazing souvenir we can find for $20 at an antique shop like the Pink Tractor somewhere in between. Bring on summer…

I love the Shawnee but it’s nice to visit other places. Living so close to Grand Rivers, Kentucky is a blessing for us! You can spend a whole weekend or even a week enjoying that area! We always eat at Patti’s 1880s Settlement. It’s the only place I ever order dessert! You can’t pass up their desert! The. Of course you have to hike or bike that food off at Land Between the Lakes! Have you been? If not, you better add it to your bucket list because it’s a grand experience and it’s where memories are made!
