Railbird Festival is returning once again to Lexington, Kentucky in 2024 for another bumped packed festival for country, Americana and folk fans alike.

The event is back for its fourth instalment, armed with a blockbuster line-up featuring some of the biggest names in the genres, including headliners Chris Stapleton and Noah Kahan.

The festival is taking place once again in the heart of Lexington at the Red Mile, the second oldest harness-racing track in the world. Surrounded by gaming and horse racing entertainment, the festival is situated within the heart of the grounds, with three stages presenting a variety of music and amusements.

With the festival a stone's throw away from the city centre, it's more than possible to either drive or walk from your accommodation straight into the festival grounds. So, with the dates and line up announced and tickets on sale, we're getting you all prepared for your Lexington stay with Holler's guide of where to stay for Railbird Festival 2024.
