13th Annual Band and Choral Festival Cancelled Due to Covid 19
Each year hundreds of band and choir students come to Beech Bend Park to compete in the Band and Choral Festival. The 13th annual Festival scheduled for May, 2023 has been cancelled. We hope to revive the festival in 2024.
The date for the 2024 Band and Choral Festival will be decided at a later date. Two days of band and choral competition is normally scheduled. Each day is a separate competition so each group can choose the date that works best for them. The adjudication takes place on Beech Bend Park’s WBKO Entertainment Stage. Each group receives a trophy with the rating of superior, excellent, good or fair and will be ranked within their division. Groups can enjoy all the rides and attractions Beech Bend Park has to offer before and after their performance time. All groups come together at the end of the day for an Awards Ceremony.

Educational Opportunities in the Park:
Drug Awareness & Self-Esteem Magic Show
For 36 years, Dinky Gowen has brought his educational magic shows to schools throughout Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. The “Magic of Being YOU” mesmerizes students while providing a strong message on the important issues of drug awareness and self-esteem. The magical illusions capture and hold the students’ attention and before they know it, they are learning some of life’s most important lessons – the three A’s – attendance, attitude and achievement.
Educational Guides
Beech Bend has developed a Science Day program that provides a teacher’s manual and student lesson plan for many amusement park-related science questions. A teacher’s manual and student lesson plan is available by request, at no cost to schools visiting Beech Bend. Or you can be creative and create your own plan – many kindergarten and first grade classes have brought their “Letter People” or “Flat Stanleys” with them to Beech Bend! Call 270-781-7634 for more information about the educational guides.

Golden Ticket Awards – Cyclone Saucers named Top 3 Best New Water Ride
In a ceremony held recently, the 19th annual Golden Ticket Awards were announced. The Golden Ticket Awards were presented by Amusement Today. Amusement Today is the world’s leading amusement park/water park business journal. The Golden Ticket Awards have become the industry’s most prestigious awards, equivalent to the “Oscar.” Beech Bend Park and Splash Lagoon’s “Cyclone Saucers” received high marks in the “Best New Water Park Ride” category. “Cyclone Saucers” tied for the No. 3 spot for the new water slide, the first of its kind in North or South America. “Cyclone Saucers” is part of a new four slide complex opened in 2016. Beech Bend’s Kentucky Rumbler was also ranked as the 48th Best Wooden Coaster in the world! “Hundreds of wooden coasters were considered for these awards. We knew we had a winner with the Kentucky Rumbler the very first time we rode it, but it is gratifying to know the rest of the world agrees,” commented Dallas Jones, park president. The Kentucky Rumbler has ranked in the Top 50 every year since it was built in 2006. The Kentucky Rumbler was built by Great Coasters International, Inc.

History Making Splash Lagoon Expansion a Big Hit!
BEECH BEND RAW – UNEDITED from Trevor George on Vimeo.
Beech Bend Park’s largest water park expansion in park history is NOW OPEN. The multi-million dollar expansion includes Cyclone Saucers, the FIRST EVER North American installation of ProSlide’s FlyingSAUCER ride. This history-making, ground breaking water slide will offer a very unique ride experience. Riders will fly around the edge of three “flying saucers” at high speeds. At nearly 500 feet long with a 55 foot elevation change, Cyclone Saucers is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
