About the application

Welcome to the Midway Bourbon and Blues Festival at Francisco's Farm! A show for all the fine things Kentucky has to offer - Bourbon, Wine, Food, Art, & Crafts!  Browse through our applications and let us know if you have any questions. This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically. 
A wide variety of family activities, foods, music and vendor selection will contribute to the success of this year's event! 
 
Midway is located 12 miles from Lexington and 45 minutes from Louisville, KY. We’re conveniently located 1.2 miles from I-64 off Exit 65.   Midway was created as Kentucky’s first railroad town in the mid 1800’s and was a stopping point for steam locomotives to refuel and take on water.  Midway remains as an active railroad community much the same as it did 150 years ago. The railroad tracks parallel the downtown businesses with both sides of the track lined with quaint shops and restaurants, including numerous antique stores, period and specialty shops that allow anyone a relaxed day of shopping.  Whether your taste buds prefer homemade Kentucky hot brown, or fresh homemade desserts, Midway’s restaurants have it all.
 
Booth spaces are available throughout downtown Midway.
