Berea Kentucky Accommodations

When is the best time to visit Berea, KY?

There's always something going on in Berea. Come on a weekend to see artists at work, or if you prefer to browse without the crowds, weekdays are best. Berea is also a great place to find something special for the holidays. The cafes and galleries as well as the Boone Tavern come alive with holiday cheer and carols. Together with amazing handmade crafts, there's no better place to shop for holiday gifts or get in the spirit for the season. Temperatures are on the moderate side, with average temperatures staying above 40 degrees throughout most of the holiday shopping season. It's also a slower time of the year for tourism, meaning you'll get better rates for your stay.

Music lovers can come join an old-fashioned jam session every Thursday at Jammin' on the Porch. Come hear father and daughter duo Lewis and Donna Lamb host the weekly event at the Berea Welcome Center, or stop by on a Friday night, July through September, for the Levitt AMP Berea Music Series. If you'd rather dance, come on the third Friday or fourth Saturday of the month for Contra Dancing at the Russel Action Folk Center.

Visit Berea in the warmer months to learn all about sustainable agriculture from local farmers. You can even pick up some heirloom seeds for your own garden. Come in mid-July for the Berea Craft Festival, which brings even more artisans and performers to Berea for three days of art, music, and excitement at the Indian Fort Theater. Travel in Berea peaks in June and July, so expect to see an increase in accommodation costs.
