The celebration begins just outside the amphitheater at 6:30 p.m. Kids of all ages can join in on the fun with watermelon-eating and hula-hooping contests, bounce houses, face-painting, the Kentucky Home Guard Band, and more.
The Stephen Foster Story begins at 8 p.m., and during intermission, a free cupcake is available to each audience member to celebrate Stephen Foster’s 192nd birthday.
