You wouldn’t expect the sleepy streets of Somerset to house one of the largest destinations in Kentucky, but this quaint small town plays host to over a million visitors during the summer.

Its proximity to Lake Cumberland and the number of events that the town puts on has made it quite a lively locale. Residents shouldn’t worry though, because the height of tourist season and the calm winter months are equally enjoyable. Somerset’s Main St. and U.S. 27 run parallel to each other, housing both popular chain restaurants and local eateries. Tap on Main Brewing is a popular downtown spot, as it makes for a great nightcap after a day at the lake.

Besides the popular body of water near Somerset, the town also comes together for the Somernites Cruise, a popular car show that happens once a month from April through October. If you’re looking for community, look no further than Somerset.
