ColorFest Returns on November 5 and 6

Back after a two-year hiatus! ColorFest, Bernheim’s annual fall festival is Saturday, November 5 and Sunday, November 6.

ColorFest is two days of family fun surrounded by the spectacular beauty of fall at Bernheim. We can’t wait to welcome families back to enjoy crowd favorite activities like the corn pit, mud pie kitchen, pumpkin rolling, giant launch, nature games, and giant slides or channel your inner Nis with Giant Costume-making.

NEW this year, we will have a hillside grass maze for an all-ages adventure and adults will be able to enjoy the beauty of fall while enjoying beer at the event.

You’ll also be able to participate in our newest Artist in Residence installation, OXYGEN by AKUNZO, an artist collective from the Netherlands. You’ll be able to to write or draw their wishes and thoughts about their relationship with nature on labels that will be tied to the branches of OXYGEN, a huge transparent head that emerges from the ground, looks to the sky, smells oxygen, and breathes air.

Other highlights include live music, hands-on nature activities, unique local foods, and Kentucky art and craft vendors. ColorFest is from 10 a.m. –  4 p.m.  on both Saturday and Sunday.
