Brands include Four Roses, Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, Old Forrester, Willet, Town Branch and many more. The three-day music festival will take place July 12-14 at Waterfront Park.

Guests will also have the opportunity to engage with an exclusive culinary experience called SMOKED, a Southern soul food experience imagined by Jim ‘N Nicks famous Southern barbeque and Chef Ed Lee of Milkwood.
