Save the Date! Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2025 is taking place on September 5-7, 2025.
The 2024 edition of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival just wrapped up and Bourbon Lens soaked in 3 full days of events, tastings, meet and greets and more. We’ll have a 2024 KBF Wrap-Up podcast episode coming soon to discuss the experience. Given that the event sold out for the 3rd consecutive year, you aren’t going to want to miss out on KBF 2025.

Excerpted Press Release from Kentucky Bourbon Festival:
Following a successful sold-out event last week, The Kentucky Bourbon Festival announced next year’s festival will be Sept. 5-7, 2025, in Bardstown, Ky., the Bourbon Capital of the World. Bourbon enthusiasts can sip their way into September — National Bourbon Heritage Month — joining attendees from all over the globe to celebrate the spirited history and craft of bourbon.
We’re looking forward to welcoming bourbon enthusiasts back to Bardstown for KYBF’s 34th year and having them kick off National Bourbon Heritage Month with us. The Kentucky Bourbon Festival has sold out every year since we launched a re-imagined and re-invigorated format in 2021 and we could not be more excited for guests to see what we have planned for 2025.
– Randy Prasse, COO and President of the Festival
All tickets to the 2024 KBF sold out for the third consecutive year. The festival features expanded opportunities for bourbon enthusiasts to engage with the most sought-after brands alongside engaging and immersive educational experiences. With 85% of its ticketed guests visiting from outside Kentucky, the event continues to serve as an important tourism and economic engine for the entire region.
We are looking forward to another exciting year at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. It has become the best place in the world for bourbon enthusiasts to not only enjoy incredible whiskeys but to also meet the people to make them.
