Sip. Create. Connect.
Nestled in the heart of charming downtown Cynthiana, we invite you to a vibrant day of art, wine and community magic. On April 25, 2026 in historic downtown Cynthiana, the Cynthiana Arts & Wine Festival brings together local winemakers, artisan creators and the spirited people of Harrison County under one festive sky. Expect handcrafted treasures, glasses raised, live rhythms, and stories swirling like the blossoms of early spring.
Why this festival matters
This isn’t your typical arts fair- it’s a celebration of place, story and craft. From the vine to the brush, the grape to the gallery, we’re weaving together the richness of Kentucky’s wine heritage with the bold, creative beat of Kentucky’s artisan community. Whether you’re a passionate collector, a curious wanderer or someone just looking for a lovely weekend outing, this festival invites you in: to taste, to touch, to connect.
What to Expect
Sample exquisite local wines from Kentucky vineyards, each with its own tale and terroir.
Stroll through a curated artisan market: painters, ceramicists, jewelers, and other inspired makers showing works rooted in nature, texture and story.
Delight in live music and folk-inspired acoustic sets that set the mood for creativity and connection.
Capture moments: photo opportunities woven into the festival scene, artisan displays, wine stations.
Pairings and bites: curated food options that complement the wines and the artistic atmosphere.
