Beattyville Bourbon & Moonshine Festival
June 14th, 2025
The Downtown Beattyville Alliance and the Beattyville/Lee County Tourism Commission are planning a new, one a kind festival for the area. The organizers of the event are working with a team of well connected people in the bourbon industry. We hope to have distilleries from all over the state represented at our festival. The event will also include a panel of distillers telling their story, live music and tastings.
The festival will give special attention this year to the Moonshine Trail.
