Monthly Community Blood Drives Launch Monday Morning
Radcliff, KY · September 20, 2026
Streets along Lincoln Trail are quiet again after a lively weekend, leaving plenty of room for an easy Sunday before the workweek spins up. If you want to skip cooking tonight, an open community dinner is on the table.
The Lead
Lincoln Trail Boulevard cleared out late Saturday evening as the annual Radcliff Days Parade and Cultural Festival drew to a close. Thousands of neighbors and Fort Knox families lined the parade route from Freedoms Way before gathering at City Hall for international cuisine, folk dances, and local craft displays celebrating the Commonwealth's most diverse municipality.
Organizers pointed to record attendance across the afternoon stages, where performances showcased the city's rich military ties and global roots. The festival also gave local makers and culinary pop-ups one of their biggest showcases of the autumn season, with food trucks and craft vendors reporting brisk business well past dusk.
Public works crews had the boulevard swept and reopened to normal traffic overnight. Community organizers will review vendor feedback and attendance tallies later this month as planning begins for next year’s gathering.

Spotlight & Story
- Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area
- Tucked along the limestone bluffs near Muldraugh, Morgan’s Cave once sheltered Confederate cavalry raiders during the Civil War. Heavy iron gates have sealed its active underground stream since the 1990s, quietly shielding hibernating bat colonies while hikers pass unaware overhead.
