BugFest & Fall Plant Sale, September 28, 2019

Bernheim’s BugFest creates a buzz of excitement each September. The fun-filled day celebrating all things buggy attracts thousands of children and families to learn more about their favorite six and eight-legged creatures. The annual Fall Plant Sale, held in conjunction with BugFest, offers a diverse selection of trees and shrubs, including many cultivated from Bernheim’s own collections.

ColorFest, October 19-20, 2019

Fall beauty is on full display at Bernheim’s ColorFest held annually in October. The colorful autumn landscape provides the backdrop for a weekend full of fun, family-friendly activities including the pumpkin launch, hay maze, mud pies and hayrides. Visitors also can enjoy live music, hand-on nature activities, local foods and Kentucky arts and craft vendors. ColorFest is Bernheim’s only two-day event and oldest celebration.
