Highlights
What Makes the RailPark Rendezvous So Special?
Join us as we celebrate one of Bowling Green’s most iconic landmarks—the Historic L&N Depot. This beloved building stands today because the people of Bowling Green believed in the power of progress.
Prior to the American Civil War, the community raised over $1 million—an extraordinary sum at the time—to bring the L&N rail line through the city. That bold investment paid off. When the L&N Depot opened in 1925, it quickly became a vital transportation hub, driving the growth, connection, and prosperity that helped shape the Bowling Green we know today.
Now, 100 years later, this magnificent structure—and the beautifully restored railcars that surround it—require constant care and resources to preserve their legacy. That’s where the RailPark Rendezvous comes in.
This annual event isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration. A chance to step into the golden age of train travel while enjoying an evening of unforgettable entertainment, delicious food and drinks, interactive exhibits, and community spirit. Every ticket sold, every sponsor secured, and every bid placed in the silent auction goes directly toward keeping this historic site alive for generations to come.
Let’s raise our glasses, toast to the past, and help secure the future of the RailPark—because preserving our history has never been so much fun.

What to bring
The RailPark Rendezvous will be held inside the Historic L&N Depot as well as under a large event tent just outside the building. While most of the evening will be comfortably covered, we recommend checking the forecast and bringing a light jacket in case the weather turns cool—especially later in the evening.
💃 1920s-themed attire is encouraged!
Think flapper dresses, fedoras, feathers, and fringe! Dressing up adds to the fun and flair of the evening, but it’s absolutely not required to enjoy the night. Come as you are—or come as Gatsby!
✨Most of all, bring your enthusiasm, your dancing shoes, and your generous spirit as we raise funds to preserve this historic treasure!
Tickets are not refundable but are transferable. You must contact the RailPark directly if you wish to transfer tickets to someone else, no later than 24 hours before the event date. The event will take place rain or shine.
