Welcome to Harlan County, where there’s always something exciting going on! Whether you’re here for our biggest party of the year at the Poke Sallet Festival or looking to get a little dirty at thrilling off-road events like the Southern Shine Crawl or the Fall Crawl, we’ve got you covered. Harlan County is a place of celebration, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
We like to think we’re on top of all the fun stuff happening around here, but now and then, a cool event might sneak by us. Maybe we missed it in our social feeds, or it’s a new thing we haven’t heard about yet. Whatever the reason, we don’t want to miss out, and neither do you! Got an event you’re excited about? Shoot us an email at harlantourism@gmail.com or send us a message on our facebook page at Visit Harlan County. As long as it meets our parameters, we’ll happily add it to our calendar. We’re all about community and tourism events that bring people together.
So, let’s make every day a reason to celebrate in Harlan County. Share your event, and let’s fill our calendar with fun for everyone!

Harlan… are you ready for #HarlanChowsDown 2026?!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 11th because we are dedicating an entire day to doing what we do best… EATING LOCAL.
From burgers stacked high to cheesy pizza pulls, sweet treats, loaded sandwiches, fries, and everything in between… this is your official excuse to skip cooking and support your favorite hometown spots all day long.
Here’s how it works:
• Our local restaurants roll out special deals
• You grab your friends, coworkers, or your “lunch break crew”
• You post your food pics using #HarlanChowsDown and be entered to win a cash prize
• We celebrate the flavor of Harlan
We’ll start posting participating restaurants and their exclusive deals as soon as they’re finalized. So stay tuned, watch our page, and get ready to plan your route.
Let’s Chow Down, Harlan County. ![]()
