Festival Expands Footprint and Offerings
Prasse said the ever-improving festival’s 33rd year will feature an enlarged footprint that expands on The Great Lawn — historic Spalding Hall’s front lawn — where Kentucky’s top distillery brands are located for the festival weekend. This allows for additional distillery tents; a new bottle shop where bourbon enthusiasts attending can sample and buy bottles operated by Evergreen Liquors; a KYBF- first two-story tent structure, featuring the KYBF Festival Store on the first floor, and a cigar lounge upstairs — with three cigar suites that guests can rent for an hour and enjoy the best people watching at the festival.
