Shaker Village continues its annual tradition of supporting the Great American Brass Band Festival by hosting The Walnut Street Ramblers for a special performance on The Trustees' Table lawn.

You won't want to miss this incredible event, pairing world-class music with the backdrop of historic Shaker Village. In addition to the music, enjoy drinks from the outdoor bar, take a stroll in the garden, attend an evening tour and stick around for dinner and more Music on the Lawn throughout the evening.


* Seating is limited, so please bring your own lawn chair.
* Admission only required if attending tours or indoor exhibits.


About The Walnut Street Ramblers

The Walnut Street Ramblers have performed at many locations in Kentucky including Danville’s Great American Brass Band Festival; Ashland’s Paramount Theatre; Harrodsburg’s Fort Harrod Jazz Festival; Lexington’s Moondance Theatre, Grand Reserve, and Speakeasy; Bardstown’s Summer Concert Series; and Pleasant Hill’s Shaker Village.

The Ramblers’ repertoire spans ragtime-era music including Scott Joplin; New Orleans traditional jazz by Jelly-Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong; and hot 1920s music by composers such as Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter.

Members of the Ramblers have appeared with such noted artists as Wynonna Judd, Natalie Cole, Lou Rawls, the Manhattan Transfer, and Aretha Franklin. The Walnut Street Ramblers promise you a hot time--listen, celebrate, and enjoy as they recreate the great times in America’s music.

Birds Of The Palisades

Birds of the Palisades

Join our Preserve Team to learn how to identify grassland songbirds by sight, sound, behavior and habitat. This program takes place during peak migration in our converted native prairie and adjoining forest edges. Participants will gain training for Global Big Day and other citizen science birding programs.

For this program, we are partnering with our friends at Floracliff Nature Sanctuary to highlight birds of the Kentucky River Palisades region. Join us from 8-11:00 a.m. for a morning birding hike at Floracliff (purchase tickets here) that will feature woodland songbirds and migrating warblers, then head out to Shaker Village for the 1-4:00 p.m. program.

Cost: $15

Sales Closed

Please dress for a day of warm-weather hiking with sturdy shoes. We encourage you to bring sun protection, water, light snacks and binoculars. Adult supervision is required for anyone under 18. 

Questions? Call 859.734.5411 or email [email protected] for more information.
