About West Liberty, Kentucky

West Liberty is a city in Kentucky that can be found by taking U.S. highway 460 southeast from Lexington. This small town of about 3,500 people sits on the banks of the Licking River. It is the county seat of Morgan County. The city was founded in 1823 and was almost completely burned down in the Civil War. It was rebuilt in the early 1900s and has slowly grown ever since.

The festival has a parade. Live music is featured on two stages with bluegrass, country, and rock music to enjoy. Delicious food includes southern favorites like funnel cake and homemade pies.
