They say nothing good happens after the sun goes down, but they must not know about Kentucky After Dark 🌃

Our great state is full of frights for you thrill seekers out there who love a good spook. has over 15 destinations across the Commonwealth for you to explore, and a Passport Program to help you keep track of the ones you’ve dared to explore. Might we suggest starting with Franklin’s very own Octagon Hall?

Pick up a passport at any participating destination tourism office, and get ready to get scared!
