City services, parks updates, and community calendars are easy to find through the City of Harrodsburg.
Weekend plans often center on Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, a 3,000-acre landmark with preserved architecture, farm-to-table dining, riverboat rides in season, and miles of trails along the Kentucky River Palisades. Whether you’re exploring galleries, savoring bourbon-country cuisine, or joining seasonal festivals, you’ll find a steady rhythm of events that feel authentically local.
