4 WEEKS FROM TODAY!! 🌙🌗🌕🕺🏼

There are many elements that make Moonshiner's magical - the song, the setting, the seclusion, the season - but if you ask anyone that comes to this festival every year what they love about it the most, the answer will always be the same.

It's the people.

The Hranicky Construction sponsored discount is still active, but those tickets are running low. Get yours today!

BIG NEWS! 💥

In case you’re wondering why the price for Moonshiner’s tickets dropped over the weekend...

We were talking to Jody Hranicky last week - a long-time Moonshiner’s regular – about folks we know who are struggling with the cost of everything these days and having to give up the festivals and concerts that usually fill up their lives …
.. and he had an idea.

Jody’s company, Hranicky Construction, LLC, has offered to subsidize ticket sales, to help make them more affordable for everyone! It’s only a limited number, but until we reach his limit, we're dropping all full weekend passes back down to early bird pricing – a nearly $50 discount per ticket!

If you see Jody, give him some love, y’all. This is what festival community is all about.

October 8-11, 2026. Livingston, Kentucky.

Our food truck game is strong this year! 💪

🍗 Plucker’s is such a staple it wouldn’t be Moonshiner’s without them. Chicken served in all glorious versions, from quesadillas to tenders ... oh and biscuits and gravy in the morning!

🏵 Portia’s Cafe is coming down from Columbus, OH to serve delicious, healthful, house-made, organic cuisine. All vegan and gluten-free!

🍕 Rise Up Pizza just launched a brick-and-mortar on Jefferson St. in Lexington, serving detroit-style pizza ... you know with the crisped-up cheesy edges??

🇩🇪 The Spatzle Factor serves hand-made German dumpling noodles w/ grilled brats and a variety of sauces. (The mushroom sauce is my fave.) Load a six-pack of Abettor’s Märzen Oktoberfest in your cooler. It’s the season.

🌮 El Taco Ranchero is super solid traditional Mexican fare - burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas. Exactly the base you need for a Saturday night rager.

☕ Morning Glow Coffee serves a full array of espresso and flavored specialty drinks ... and recently started offering Boba Tea!

How about Them Lasses at Thursday Night Live last night?!

They played over two hours and 🥵 outside wasn’t the only thing heating things up!

Just when we think we know all their songs and antics here comes the next banger, nostalgic cover or newest member of the band (Henny Penny is a keeper imo!🐔 ).

Catch them October 8th at The Moonshiner's Ball ! Shine on!
