2022 Kentucky Bourbon Festival Tickets Go on Sale May 11

Kentucky Bourbon Festival organizers announced that tickets for the 2022 festival will go on sale to the public May 11, 2022.

The festival brings bourbon lovers to Bardstown, KY, to celebrate the history and making of bourbon during National Bourbon Heritage Month.

The Kentucky Bourbon Festival returns for its 31st year Sept. 16-18, 2022.

“We’re excited to welcome guests and distilleries back to Bardstown for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival,” says Randy Prasse, president and COO of Kentucky Bourbon Festival. “We are looking forward to building on the successful festival format we unveiled last year with exciting updates based on feedback from our guests. Bourbon lovers will have three days to experience new products, meet distillers, attend programs and enjoy an experience they will not get anywhere else.”

The 2022 festival includes expanded opportunities for bourbon enthusiasts to engage with brands alongside educational experiences, the organizers say. Tickets include access to the festival from Friday through Sunday, bourbon tastings, panels with industry experts, access to more than 30 bourbon-themed marketplace vendors, food trucks and the annual Master Distillers’ Bottle Auction.

New this year, ticketed guests will be able to purchase bottles directly from distilleries at the festival. 

Bourbon enthusiasts will also be able to purchase 20 single barrel offerings in the Kentucky Bourbon Festival’s Distillers’ Row Series — double last year’s options. All bottles will be available for purchase through Justins’ House of Bourbon locations in Louisville and Lexington, beginning in late August, and throughout the festival weekend at the KBF Bottle Shop.
