Bourbon & Beyond, the world’s largest bourbon and music festival, is returning to Louisville, Kentucky for its seventh year, and music festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents has announced the roster of culinary and spirits talent who will curate food and beverage pairings on-site alongside the music lineup slated for 2025.

The event will take place September 11 to 14 at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville and will include multi-sensory opportunities and programming, showcasing the country’s best chefs and rich bourbon culture. The four-day destination event has expanded to a total of five music stages and over 120 music artists, plus the festival’s culinary and bourbon experiences.

Chris Santos, celebrity chef and judge, commented: “Bourbon & Beyond is where the heart of music meets the soul of bourbon country, and is hands down one of the most exhilarating festivals in the nation.  I’m excited to crank up the heat on the stage, with chefs rocking out their best dishes with some of your favorite performers. We’re crafting a lineup of chefs that celebrate bourbon in the most delicious and daring way possible, where every sip feels like a high-five and every bite is a thrilling encore.”

In addition to the culinary and bourbon experiences, Bourbon & Beyond is offering major musical talent such as The Lumineers, Benson Boone, Jack White, Vance Joy, Cage The Elephant, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and many more throughout the four-day event.

Another highlight of Bourbon & Beyond is the Kroger Big Bourbon Bar. Bourbon lovers can also stop by Chris Picks' mini bar for select single barrels curated especially for Bourbon & Beyond; The Hunter’s Club for rare and vintage sips; and the Jack Daniel's Sports Bar and Char House.
