Opening Ceremony

Join us as we kick off the much-awaited Hillbilly Days festival with our heartfelt Opening Ceremony! This special event, held on Thursday, April 18th from 5 to 6 p.m., serves as a poignant tribute to the Hillbillies who have left an indelible mark on our community, while also celebrating the vibrant spirit of today's Hillbillies and the dedicated individuals who serve our community tirelessly.

Gather at the stage in the Pikeville City Park as we come together to honor the legacy of those who came before us, embodying the true essence of Hillbilly pride and resilience. From beloved local legends to unsung heroes, we pay homage to their contributions that have shaped our heritage and identity.

As the sun sets on Pikeville City Park, let's come together as one big Hillbilly family to ignite the festivities and set the stage for a week filled with laughter, music, and camaraderie. So mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and join us for an unforgettable start to the Hillbilly Days festival at the Opening Ceremony!
