"The Bluegrass region is markedly different from eastern Kentucky, both physically and culturally. With a more northward orientation than its Mountain neighbor, the Bluegrass is more affluent and more cosmopolitan, with orchestras, theatre groups, lecture series, and other such phenomena that are typical of urban areas. Northern Kentucky, although part of the Bluegrass, reflects the German heritage of metropolitan Cincinnati in its churches, restaurants, family names, and annual Oktoberfest. Lexington is the center of American horse breeding, and horse shows and horse racing, particularly at the famed Keeneland track, are readily recognized Bluegrass traditions."
