Bluegrass Garrison is the Kentucky subunit of the 501st, the world’s largest Star Wars costume club founded in 1997 and with over 14,000 active members in more than 60 countries around the globe – from America to Europe to Japan and Australia. The Legion is all about the characters of the Empire, the First Order, and the Dark Side, as well as the crooks, villains, and shady figures of the Star Wars universe.
In 2018 members of the Midsouth Garrison who resided in Kentucky voted to break off and form their own garrison, the Bluegrass Garrison. Our garrison was official formation date is May 4th, 2018.
Today Bluegrass Garrison is thriving with over 80 active members with no sign of slowing down.
