Join up for Kentucky’s oldest running festival is held every third Monday in October and the weekend prior, throughout historic downtown Mt. Sterling. In the fall when the air turns crisp is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of one of the earlier traditions — Court Day.

Mount Sterling delights in this long-standing tradition when thousands of people from all parts of the country gather for the four-day “Ultimate Shopping” event. Now, this 220-year-old festival entices visitors from all over the world to enjoy the ultimate shopping adventure including handmade crafts, antiques, tools, collectibles and of course, a country ham sandwich!
