Get ready to tap in — Kentucky Craft Bash returns to Derby City on Saturday, June 28.

With 50+ in-state breweries pouring 150+ sips straight from the brewers, the festival transforms Waterfront Park’s Brown-Forman Lawn into the Bluegrass State’s largest taproom.

But that’s not all:

  • Snack your way through food vendors
  • Jam to DJ Sam Sneed
  • Shop local finds from vendors like Love Dog Bowtique + Pint Knight Beer Gear
  • And more

Bonus: Score a commemorative tasting glass with general admission or VIP tickets.
