🥃✨ Bourbon & Moonshine Festival Returns! ✨🥃 Saturday, September 27th
Beattyville Town Square

We’re proud to continue the tradition of the Beattyville Bourbon and Moonshine Festival this year! While Main Street continues to recover from the February flood, we’re planning a scaled-back version for this years event that still celebrates our rich heritage and community spirits.

👉 Please note: Due to limited access to electrical sources, this festival will feature only FOOD VENDORS, MOONSHINE TRAIL BOURBON & MOONSHINE drink booths & MOONSHINERS MEET & GREETS (but not regular retail vendors) — so you can still count on plenty of food, fun, and flavor all around Town Square 😋🥃 While you’re here for the festival, if you’re in the mood to shop, we encourage you to stop in one of our Main Street businesses. They’ve weathered a lot over the years and would be truly grateful for your support!

🎉 New activities we are adding this year:
• A morning car cruise around the Moonshine Trail Loop in the Red River Gorge to kick off the festival
• A “Still Show” showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of still builders

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 27th, and stay tuned for more announcements!
