Bourbon & Beyond

Kentucky Expo Center | 937 Phillips Lane | bourbonandbeyond.com | $136.24+ | Gates open at 11:30 a.m.

This festival has a bit of bluegrass, a bit of rock, a bit of pop, a bit of country, a bit of funk, a bit of folk, and a bit of everything else in between — plus a lot of bourbon. Go for the music (The Killers, Bruno Mars, Blondie, Duran Duran, The Black Keys, etc.) and the culinary demos. — Carolyn Brown
