The Region’s Premier Music Festival

Alley Fest is Eastern Kentucky’s premier music and arts festival—bringing together incredible live performances, a passionate community, and the rich cultural spirit of Appalachia. What started in the heart of downtown Paintsville has grown into a can’t-miss celebration for music lovers across the region and beyond.
