Bourbon & Beyond, The World’s Largest Bourbon & Music Festival, is returning to Louisville, Kentucky for its 6th year, and producers Danny Wimmer Presents have announced the amazing roster of culinary and spirits talent who will curate unique food and beverage pairings on-site alongside the incredible music lineup slated for 2024. The festival builds on Louisville’s outstanding reputation for fine dining, built on a foundation of chefs moving to or starting up in the Derby City because of its partnership opportunities with the bourbon industry. The event takes place September 19-22 at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, and will include multi-sensory opportunities showcasing the country’s best chefs and immersive bourbon culture. The 4-day destination event has expanded to a total of five music stages and over 100 music artists, plus the festival’s culinary and bourbon experiences, marking Bourbon & Beyond’s biggest year yet.
Leading The Culinary Atelier demonstrations at Bourbon & Beyond are hosts Chef Chris Santos (Chopped), and Chef Edward Lee (The Mind of a Chef). They will be joined by acclaimed chefs including Tiffani Faison (Chef and Food Network TV personality), Marc Murphy (Michelin Chef), Kelsey Barnard Clark (Winner of Top Chef Season 16), and Local Chef Noam Bilitzer (Chopped), who recently opened MeeshMeesh in Louisville.
Noted Louisville chef Edward Lee proclaimed, “There is no better time than Bourbon & Beyond when the best of music, chefs and bourbon enthusiasts get together for a magical festival where memories are made and life is celebrated. It gets better every year and I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for us all. Cheers!”
“My favorite festival of the year is approaching! Bourbon & Beyond is back and we have so much in store for 2024! Not only is the music lineup legendary but we will be gathering iconic chefs on the culinary stage – along with myself – AND I will be on the Bourbon stage this year as well. Get ready to dance, eat, and drink with the BEST,” says Chef Amanda Freitag.
