==Arts and culture== {{Multiple issues|section=yes| {{Unreferenced section|date=October 2007}} {{ad|section|date=May 2025}} }} The annual Twin Lakes National Fiddler Championship is held each year on the Court Square. Fiddlers from all over the state and region come to Leitchfield to compete for prize money. Every year, Leitchfield hosts to the Grayson County Fair, which begins the week before [[Labor Day]]. The fair features a variety of festivities, including a [[demolition derby]], carnival rides, truck and [[tractor pull]]s, field crop contests, and a [[beauty pageant]]. The County Fair officially concludes with an annual Labor Day parade. What started as an [[ice cream]] social on the county square in 1992 has turned into a weekend-long festival. Every July, the Ice Cream Festival, now planned and operated by K105, features a beauty pageant, rides, games, a mixed doubles [[tennis]] tournament and the largest fireworks show in the area. At 6pm on the Saturday of the festival, free cups of ice cream are given to festival attendees. Each year, the fireworks show is given a theme. Recent themes include "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Television Classics". In 2009, the event was replaced by Freedom Fest, which was hyped by the newspapers.{{Citation needed|date=January 2015}} Each July, the Grayson County Agricultural Recreation Park in Leitchfield hosts the Grayson County [[4-H]] and [[National FFA Organization|FFA]] Ag Fair. The event features farm and youth events and exhibits such as tractor driving contests, homemaker exhibits, and sheep, hog, horse, dairy and beef shows. A Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony is held each year on the Saturday before Memorial Day. Hundreds march from the Leitchfield firehouse to the county square holding signs of local veterans who died in various conflicts. The ceremony consists of several speeches, the roll call of local veterans who died in the previous year, and the singing of the National Anthem and Amazing Grace. A cookout is held after the ceremony.
