Black Gold Festival

About

Running since 1981, Black Gold Festival celebrates Eastern Kentucky's coal heritage and the spirit of Hazard & Perry County. Held on Main Street, the festival draws thousands of visitors from all over the state. Expect around 38 food booths, craft vendors, and local businesses, along with live music and entertainment. All vendors must have a valid city occupational license or special event vendor license; you may be exempt from the license fee but must still fill out an application.
