About Us:

Marion County Country Ham Days, hosted by the Marion County Chamber of Commerce, is recognized as one of the oldest and largest fall festivals in Kentucky. Held the last full weekend in September, the festival welcomes over 30,000 visitors and acts as an agent for community empowerment. The event began in 1969, and started with a mere six hams and a small number of volunteers. Today, Ham Days serves over 3,000 pounds of country ham at our breakfast and food booth and recruits over 200 Marion County volunteers.
