Kentucky Bourbon Festival Inc

An excellent event even if you don’t like bourbon. Can not wait for next year. Met several people who traveled from out of state to come. It is held in Bardstown,Kentucky heart of Bourbon Country.

This was the 4th time attending the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and enjoyed meeting many of the industry movers and shakers , purchasing some specialty bottles , and meeting people from all over the globe . The first 2 times were before it was all about money and families were allowed . Since that has changed , the town has been having a downtown festival also which is nice .

I'm very surprised.It was an amazing time. Lots of great vendors there. Given away a lot of schwag food mixed drinks, it was well worth it! The food _ood_ trucks were good, and for the most part, people were wonderful. The music was nice just a little hot wet and muddy.

First-timer here! I had a really fun time. Everyone was extremely nice and the vendors/ distillers were excited to share all about their product which made me feel the same. Extremely well organized & a really nice feeling of safety and feeling welcomed. Thank you Bardstown, Kentucky! Thank you Bourbon Festival '25!

Always the best experience! So many different distilleries & vendors! The tickets sell out fast so you have to buy them as soon as you can!

Such an average event. Not a whole lot of unique stuff, just a lot of boring flagship bourbons. I have better bourbons on my bar at home. Overall pretty disappointed with the crappy parking, no good food options, long lines, and basic pours. Glad I can say I have been at least once, but will never make the very expensive mistake of attending again.

Super fun, however they advertised food trucks the entire event, yet kicked out the food trucks two hours before it was over. I saw a bunch of panicked tipsy people who realized they couldn't eat to keep drinking 🤣

Had a great time at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. We went on Friday night. We stopped at the car show before entering. We got tickets to the Bourbontowne tent. It was nice to sip on some drinks on some comfortable chairs. The merchandise shops from the distilleries were all pretty unique. The local crafts vendors had some neat items and snacks. The food section was a little disappointing. Just felt like anything you could get at a fair. It would’ve been nice to have more local Kentucky foods available and/or some higher quality food trucks or booths. *** If we hadn’t done the Bourbontowne tent, I would’ve only given this event 4 stars. The bourbon list outside the tent was a little plain. It’s probably worth adding this. For us it was $20 and you got back $10 worth of drink tokens. $10 got you a drink or two, or a flight, depending on what you picked.
