© 2020 Bourbon On The Banks

 

Greetings Bourbon Lovers!  While we have all been tucked away in our homes for the last couple of months, the Bourbon on the Banks team has been developing a strategy for the 2020 Bourbon on the Banks Festival.  We want to have a safe and enjoyable event for everyone, while following the guidances from the state and federal government.  We have decided to combine our two day event into one event.  At this point, we have decided to go forward with the event on Saturday, August 29th, if we can get the permission and the permits to proceed.  By June 1st, we will make the decision to move forward with our original date, or move it to October 24, 2020.  

 

Please mark both of these dates on your calendar, so you don't miss the Bourbon on the Banks Festival 2020 to include everything from magical street performers, live music, tastings of spirits, wine, craft beer and of course~ BOURBON!  And did we mention, a fine and rare bourbon auction?  It will all be in one fabulous evening, destined to be one of the better memories of an unforgettable year~ 2020.
