Every July, Grayson County hosts the Official Kentucky State Old Time Fiddlers Contest, which brings many elite fiddlers from several states to the Rough River Dam State Resort Park area.

The contest is a weekend event.

Also in July, the City of Leitchfield hosts the annual Freedom Festival which features music, fireworks, and a carnival.

In late August and early September, Grayson County hosts the annual Grayson County Fair, which entertains locals and guests with music, a carnival, a Truck and Tractor Pull, a Demolition Derby, and ends on Labor Day with a parade through Leitchfield.

In September the city of Clarkson hosts the annual Honeyfest.

The Honeyfest kicks off with a parade in which the Grayson County High School Band and the Grayson County Middle School Band performs.

Many floats with the main subject of bees and honey are presented and advertise the many businesses in and surrounding Grayson County.

This festival celebrates the city and the contributions of Clarkson's Walter T. Kelley Beehive Factory.
