Greenup Old Fashion Days: Where Tradition Fills the Streets and Community Comes Home

Every fall, the first Thursday through Saturday in October, something special happens in downtown Greenup. The streets fill with familiar faces, the smell of kettle corn drifts through the air, music echoes between historic storefronts, and families gather for a weekend that feels like stepping back into the best parts of small‑town life. Old Fashion Days isn’t just an event, it’s a homecoming.

For generations, this festival has been a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and traditions are passed down. Whether you grew up attending Old Fashion Days or you’re discovering it for the first time, the experience is the same: warm, welcoming, and wonderfully Greenup.

A Weekend Full of Hometown Fun (October 1st - 3rd)

This year’s Old Fashion Days brings together everything people love most about the festival:

• Live music from local and regional performers

• Delicious food vendors serving fair favorites and hometown classics

• Crafts and artisan booths showcasing Appalachian creativity

• Contests and activities for kids, families, and anyone ready for a little friendly competition

• Parades, demonstrations, and community showcases that highlight Greenup’s heritage

It’s the kind of weekend where you can stroll Main Street with a lemonade in hand, run into old friends, discover new local talent, and watch kids experience the same joy their parents and grandparents did years ago.
