Oldham County’s Hometown Tourist Pass returns for a sixth year, offering local discounts for nearby attractions

Oldham County’s “Hometown Tourist Pass” is back for a sixth year, according to WLKY, bringing a staycation-focused discount program to residents who want to spend their leisure time at places close to home.

The pass, which targets locals rather than outside visitors, is designed to make it easier for county residents to visit local destinations by bundling access and discounts into a single offering. The program’s return for another year indicates that county partners and participating venues intend to keep the effort running beyond its initial rollout.

WLKY reported that the pass is being offered again in 2026 and is framed as a way for people to explore their community backyard. For families and working adults, the premise is to support discretionary spending on entertainment and activities while keeping it within Oldham County and nearby areas.

While the report centers on the pass’s return and the “hometown” focus, it does not provide additional program terms in the information provided here, such as the exact list of participating attractions, specific discount amounts, or how residents obtain the pass.

As with any county-linked promotion that depends on multiple venues, residents typically need to follow the program’s published rules to receive discounts or entry offers at participating locations. Those requirements can include where to pick up or purchase the pass, dates when offers are valid, and any limitations by venue.

For Oldham County, the pass functions as a small, local economic and community-engagement tool, channeling spending to attractions and businesses in the area rather than encouraging travel elsewhere. It also provides a straightforward way for residents to plan outings with reduced uncertainty about pricing.

The Hometown Tourist Pass’s sixth-year continuation suggests the county has maintained enough participation to keep the program available, but residents seeking to use it for this season should look for the most current details through the program’s official posting or the reporting outlet’s published guide, including deadlines and venue participation.
