True story. The Bluegrass state is also home to one of the country’s original whiskey festivals, held for the past 32 years in Bardstown, KY — the Bourbon Capital of the World.

This fall, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival returns Sept. 15-17 with:

  • Sampling from 50+ Kentucky distilleries
  • Engaging programming
  • Over a dozen food trucks
  • Opportunities to buy bottles of bourbon directly from distilleries
