In September 2025, the annual Kentucky bourbon festival runs for 3 days - 5th September 2025 until 7th September 2025.

Following a successful sold-out event, The Kentucky Bourbon Festival announced next year’s festival will be Sept. 5-7, 2025, in Bardstown, Ky. Bourbon enthusiasts can kick off September — National Bourbon Heritage Month — joining attendees from all over the globe to celebrate the 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,” Randy Prasse, COO and president of the festival, said in a news release. “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.”

All tickets to the 2024 festival 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,” Cordell Lawrence, board chair and chief executive officer of Eastern Light Distilling, said. “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.”

The Kentucky Bourbon Festival is presented by The Koetter Group, a third-generation owned family business specializing in construction, real estate, building services and K-Rax premium spirits barrel storage systems. The Koetter Group has been the festival’s presenting sponsor since 2023.
