National Bourbon Week™ Returns in June 2025

National Bourbon Week™ is returning to Bardstown, Kentucky, June 10-15, 2025, for its highly anticipated second year. Details on exact events and experiences will be announced soon, but bourbon enthusiasts of all stripes can look forward to another unforgettable celebration of America’s native spirit in the heart of the Bourbon Capital of the World™.

Presented by Buzick Construction, National Bourbon Week™ will again bring together world-class distilleries, exclusive tastings, unique educational experiences, and the vibrant spirit of Bardstown’s historic downtown. Last year’s inaugural event was a resounding hit, featuring a week filled with rare releases, special events, and the 21st Annual Bourbon City Street Concert.

“The inaugural National Bourbon Week™ was a milestone for the Bardstown/Nelson County community and the bourbon industry,” said Stacey Phelps, President of Visit Bardstown. “We’re excited to bring the tradition back in 2025, offering more opportunities to experience the craftsmanship and tradition that make Bardstown the heart of Bourbon Country.”

“Our nine esteemed partner distilleries are excited to expand upon the groundwork we laid with our inaugural National Bourbon Week celebration in 2024, offering even more bespoke experiences for our visitors and residents alike this June,” said Sam Lacy, Executive Director of the Bourbon Capital Alliance. “National Bourbon Week is a community-wide celebration of the spirit that built Bardstown into the economic and tourism powerhouse it is today.”
