Downtown Pineville Pineville, Kentucky
The Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival is one of Kentucky's oldest festivals, finding its start in 1931, when Mrs. Annie Walker Burns established the festival as a way to honor her famous ancestor, Dr. Thomas Walker, a pioneer explore. Since that time, the devotion and hospitality of so many, along with the resonant history of the festival, have enabled this beautiful event to thrive for eighty years.
As far as we have been able to ascertain, the Festival is the oldest continuous event of its kind in the United States. It as been held annually except for six World War II years of 1942-1947.
