The Kentucky Bourbon Festival has announced that its 30th annual festival will take place this September.
Held Sept. 16-19, the festival draws bourbon fans to Bardstown, Kentucky each year to celebrate the history of the spirit during National Bourbon Heritage Month. The 2021 festival will feature expanded opportunities for enthusiasts to engage with brands and engaging educational experiences.
“Over the past year, we’ve completely revamped the Kentucky Bourbon Festival to provide expanded opportunities to interact with the nation’s top bourbon brands,” said David Mandell, chairman of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. “We could not be more excited to unveil our new format to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the festival.”
Highlights of this year’s festival include an expanded tasting experience, a vintage and rare bourbon auction and the annual World Championship Bourbon Barrel Relay Race bourbon barrel rolling competition. Exclusive conversations with industry all-stars and unique culinary and cocktail classes will provide interactive sessions for attendees to enjoy.
“We’re excited to deliver an improved and truly authentic, world-class celebration of America’s native spirit,” said Randy Prasse, president and COO of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. “We’re looking forward to welcoming bourbon lovers back to Bardstown, a small town as historic as bourbon itself.”
Tickets for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival will be available this summer.
