Railbird moving to Red Mile in 2023, no festival in 2022

Listen up, Railbird goers. Lexington’s biggest music festival announced two major updates regarding its future plans.

First, there will not be a 2022 edition of the Railbird Music Festival this fall. Railbird is taking a pause this year to better itself for a new version of Railbird in 2023, which is the second part of Tuesday’s announcement.

When Railbird returns in 2023, it will not set up shop on the hallowed grounds at Keeneland, but a few miles closer to downtown at its new location at Red Mile Gaming & Racing. The new edition of Railbird Fest will take place in the infield of Red Mile’s harness track on June 3-4, 2023.
