Welcome to Harlan County, where there’s always something exciting going on! Whether you’re here for our biggest party of the year at the Poke Sallet Festival or looking to get a little dirty at thrilling off-road events like the Southern Shine Crawl or the Fall Crawl, we’ve got you covered. Harlan County is a place of celebration, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
We like to think we’re on top of all the fun stuff happening around here, but now and then, a cool event might sneak by us. Maybe we missed it in our social feeds, or it’s a new thing we haven’t heard about yet. Whatever the reason, we don’t want to miss out, and neither do you! Got an event you’re excited about? Shoot us an email at harlantourism@gmail.com or send us a message on our facebook page at Visit Harlan County. As long as it meets our parameters, we’ll happily add it to our calendar. We’re all about community and tourism events that bring people together.
So, let’s make every day a reason to celebrate in Harlan County. Share your event, and let’s fill our calendar with fun for everyone!
This year’s Jeep Crawl will kick off on Friday evening May 6th at 5pm in the downtown Harlan Center parking lot. We will leave from there and head out on the sunset ride. Once on top of the mountain we plan to have a bonfire and hotdogs for everyone on the ride!! Saturday morning we will resume back at the Harlan Center. We are excited to include “The Mountain Market” as part of our event. This will be set up on the inside of the civic center and will be running all day. If you plan to enter the show-n-shine, please be there by 10 am to register. We will not take entries after 10. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. There will also be food vendors set up on the outside. Guided trail rides will be planned throughout the day as well both off-road and pavement. The inflatables will be back again this year along with live music from one of Harlan’s very own, DM and the 1601’s. We’ll have a DJ take the stage from 12-4. Prizes will be given out during the music event Saturday evening. Help us spread the word and make this the best jeepin’ event southeast ky has yet to witness!!!
