Ravenna Railroad Festival

sponsor the ravenna railroad festival

The 2021 Ravenna Railroad Festival was a groundbreaking event that showcased a new partnership between the City of Ravenna and the 501(c)(3) Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation. Nearly 3000 attendees from over 14 states visited the growing rail-based tourist campus in Estill County this past September.
With your help, this highly successful event can grow to new heights
​with our expanded two-day festival on September 10-11, 2022.
​The Ravenna Railroad Festival is a celebration of the rich railroad history of our region, specifically centering on our City of Ravenna which was established by the L&N railroad over a century ago. This annual event is a weekend celebration showcasing live music, over 50 arts and crafts vendors and tasty regional cuisine and, for the first time ever in 2021, was held at The Yard, Kentucky Steam’s developing property just across the railroad tracks from us in Ravenna.

Activities are family friendly, and the highlight of 2021’s events was an authentic live steam locomotive, which ran passenger excursions on site. These sold-out train rides were the hallmark of our growing festival’s popularity, and we look to expand on that success in this and future years. Many of our vendors said it was their best sales day all year.

Your sponsorship can help provide our festival with a greater capacity to draw attendees from all over the region, and can also provide a platform for showcasing your investment in the Appalachian Kentucky community at large. We are excited to offer you the opportunity to become an early-action sponsor for what will undoubtedly be a record setting year for our growing weekend-long event.
Thanks for your consideration, and we look forward to working with you!
