The Kentucky State Capitol Building is closed for events during to its largest renovation in more than 70 years.
The Kentucky State Capitol Grounds are available for the following types of governmental and business-oriented events:
- Press Conferences
- Proclamation Signings
- Protests
- Special Announcements
- Legislative Bill Signings
Other types of events may be considered, but only under the guidelines set forth by the Historic Properties Advisory Commission. Generally, the Capitol Grounds are not available for private special event rental.
The Finance and Administration Cabinet permits persons, organizations, or groups to use Commonwealth Facilities for various purposes and events when the use will not interfere with or disrupt government functions. Requests will generally be scheduled on a "first come, first served" basis.
The Governor will have priority over use of State Capitol Grounds. The Division of Historic Properties reserves the right to relocate any activity at our discretion if the Governor needs any area. Events may be held Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. (regular business hours) excluding state holidays.

Capitol Display Cases
Near the Capitol Rotunda on the west side of the building are four display cases. The display cases are offered when available to museums, artists, educational, governmental, or other types of non-profit organizations. The cases are primarily to promote tourism and the arts and culture of Kentucky.
The cases are temporarily closed due to the Kentucky State Capitol Renovation Project.
