Eats and Beats Music Fest Returns for 2024
Immersed in the vibrant, infectious rhythms of music and tantalizing scents of food, the citizens of Bowling Green and visitors from across south-central Kentucky descended on Circus Square Park for the annual Eats and Beats Music Fest.
A Festival of Food and Music
Thousands of enthusiastic attendees, brimming with anticipation, filled the park to relish the auditory feast provided by the beats that made their hearts throb, and indulge in irresistible culinary delights offered by the city’s finest food trucks. The gala was not only a hotspot for foodies and music lovers but also served as a stage to showcase local talent, with noted Bowling Green native and Grammy Award-Winner Sam Bush headlining the musical line-up.
Honoring Duncan Hines’ Legacy
The festival served a dual purpose, also acting as a salute to renowned culinary expert Duncan Hines and his enduring legacy. The vibrancy and sheer joy that painted the park were in many ways an embodiment of Hines’ endorsement standards — quality, safety, and fun. Telia Butler, the downtown development coordinator, expressed her delight at the success of the festival, stating, “When anything had Hines’ stamp of approval, you knew it was good quality and safe, and a lot of fun, so we want to just live that legacy.”
A Week-Long Celebration

This year, Duncan Hines Days offered a variety of enjoyment for everyone, from culinary delights, music, and hands-on activities, amplifying the festive spirit of togetherness in Bowling Green.
