A couple dressed in formal attire at the Night at the Frazier gala

Guests seated at round tables enjoying dinner at a formal event, with wine glasses, plates, and floral centerpieces in a well-lit banquet hall.

Night at the Frazier returns on May 15, 2026, as a star-spangled gala celebrating Red, White & Bluegrass in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. This signature annual event invites our community to gather for an unforgettable evening at the Frazier Kentucky History Museum to celebrate our state’s culture and heritage while supporting the museum’s mission to inspire, engage, and educate by connecting the past with the present to shape the future.

The evening brings together supporters, partners, and friends of the museum for a dynamic experience that reflects the spirit of Kentucky through thoughtfully curated food and cocktails, live entertainment, immersive gallery experiences, and opportunities to engage with the museum’s work in education, preservation, and cultural connection.

Attire: Semi-formal

Theme: Red, White, & Bluegrass (think stars and stripes, bold reds and blues, crisp whites, and a little sparkle for good measure!)

A woman and a man dressed in formal attire smiling and posing for a photo in a room with wooden shelves and glassware in the background, while a photographer takes their picture.

A bartender pours a drink behind a bar with five women in a lively indoor setting, with large windows showing an urban cityscape outside.

Three men in suits standing on a stage during an award ceremony. One man is handing a trophy to another, while a third man watches and claps. There is a projection screen in the background with logos.

A highlight of the night is the presentation of the Owsley Brown Frazier Impact Award, honoring an individual whose life and work exemplify a deep commitment to community, education, and history, and whose legacy reflects the values of the museum’s founder.

People networking at a social event with drinks, a man wearing a large orange cowboy hat and glasses is talking to a man in a gray suit, while women in dresses are in the background, some holding drinks.

As the museum’s premier fundraising event, Night at the Frazier plays a vital role in sustaining the programs and initiatives that bring Kentucky’s stories to life for generations to come.
