BARDSTOWN, Ky. (WAVE) - The Kentucky Bourbon Festival will return to the Bourbon Capital of the World in September to honor the legacy and artistry of the Commonwealth’s finest spirit.

The 31st annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival will be held from Sept. 16-18 in Bardstown. This year’s festival will offer more possibilities to meet with experts from world-renowned bourbon brands.
