​Can I bring my dog?

We love our furry friends, but you will need to leave Fido at home for this event. Our footprint doesn't allow enough room for animals to hang out safely. Working service animals are permitted. 

Can I bring a chair?

Due to layout restrictions, we ask that you leave chairs and blankets at home. We do have seating available throughout the event.

Do you really mean unlimited food?

We have a ton of restaurants on board, so as long as they have food, we'll be serving. Please understand that while our intention is not to run out, it may happen. Get here as early as you can!

I bought a ticket and now I can't come, can I get a refund?

Although we do not offer refunds, you are able to transfer your ticket to another person through our ticketing platform. You can also pay a tiny bit more for Purchase Protection. 

What if I have dietary restrictions? are there vegetarian options?

Since we cannot restrict the types of dishes or cocktail recipes created by our participating chefs and bartenders, we can't guarantee specific dietary restrictions. Many of the chefs do have the capability of providing gluten-free or vegetarian options upon request. We will have gluten free and vegetarian dishes marked on menu signage, but do ask the chefs if have that need so they don't give you the wrong dish. We will allow those with dietary restrictions to bring their own food into the event if necessary.

I don't drink alcohol, can I get a discount on my ticket?

Due to the limited availability of tickets, we are unable to offer discounts for those who do not wish to drink alcohol. We will, however, have spiritless beverages and a mocktail available at the bar, so you can still partake in some tasty beverages!

I'm traveling from out of town. Where should I stay?

We recommend you stay at our Official Hotel Partner - Homewood Suites. A stay in their beautiful rooms and suites will ensure you are well rested and ready for the bourbon action! Festival attendees get a special room rate of $219 a night with free parking and breakfast included.

ARE YOU STILL TAKING VENDORS?

This event is an all-inclusive food experience, so we don't have cash food vendors on-site. We are accepting a limited amount of applicants to sell handmade craftsman goods. We are also happy to discuss how you can use this event to market to 2,000+ people through a sponsorship or restaurant participation. Email us at [email protected] for more information.
