The 2025 Hillbilly Days festival in Pikeville, KY is fast approaching, and one of the most exciting pre-festival events will be the Hillbilly Days Pageant on April 12th, 2025. The pageant will take place at Pike County Central High School. Doors will open at 10:00 a.m., and the competition will begin at 11:00 a.m. This pageant is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talent and personality while proudly representing the community.

The Hillbilly Days Pageant is a long-standing tradition of the festival, and the winner is always a highlight of the weekend. Several rounds will take place to determine who will be crowned Miss Hillbilly Days 2025, and the winner will have the honor of riding in the Hillbilly Parade. She will also represent the festival and the Pikeville community at various events throughout the year.

In addition to the pageant, festival-goers can look forward to Pikeville Hillbilly Days festivities on April 24th, 25th, and 26th in Downtown Pikeville, Kentucky. The festival offers live music, carnival rides, food, crafts, and a lively parade—something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
