Garden & Gun just gave Owensboro national attention, naming it one of the South’s best music towns. The article was written by Silas House, Kentucky’s former Poet Laureate, which makes the recognition even stronger.

Silas House highlighted what makes Owensboro stand out: Friday After 5, ROMP Festival, the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, barbecue, bourbon, downtown music, and the Ohio River.

“Garden & Gun’s national spotlight, paired with a writer of Silas House’s caliber, is a major win for Owensboro,” said Mark Calitri, President and CEO of Visit Owensboro. “It shows our music, food, bourbon, bluegrass, and riverfront story are getting noticed on a much bigger stage.”

This is exactly the kind of recognition that helps drive tourism and puts Owensboro in front of more travelers.
