Foodyfest: Spencer County’s Yummiest Annual Tradition

Spencer County, Kentucky has cooked up something special—and it’s not just what’s on the menu. Introducing Foodyfest, a new annual event that’s quickly becoming a local favorite. Held every September during Hunger Action Month, Foodyfest is a celebration of food, funds, and fun—all with a purpose.

What Is Foodyfest?

Foodyfest is more than a food festival—it’s a community movement. The event raises:

•  Food for local pantries

•  Funds for hunger relief efforts

•  Fun for families and neighbors

Whether you’re dropping off canned goods, exploring local restaurants, or watching your kids bounce through the Kids Zone, you’re helping build a stronger Spencer County.

Food Drives & Restaurant Passport

Throughout September, residents and visitors can join in:

•  A county-wide canned food drive supporting local families

•  The Foodyfest Restaurant Passport, which encourages you to visit participating eateries for a chance to win a giant restaurant gift basket

It’s a delicious way to support local businesses and neighbors in need.

Kids Zone Fun

On September 20, 2025, the Spencer County Extension Office hosts the Foodyfest Kids Zone—a free, family-friendly event featuring:

•  Bounce house & face painting!

•  Healthy cooking classes for kids!

•  Kitty petting and FREE adoption booth

It’s a joyful way to teach kids about wellness, compassion, and community service.

Why It Matters

Foodyfest isn’t just about filling plates—it’s about filling hearts. By combining celebration with service, Spencer County is showing how small towns can make a big impact. Every can donated, every meal shared, and every laugh in the Kids Zone helps build a more connected, caring community.
