To be more specific, the Highland Festival Grounds seats adjacent to 1-65 and the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

Moreover, the availability of multiple entrances to reach the parking lots just makes it more convenient for the attendees.

Bourbon And Beyond Map

In order to reach the fest from the nearest airport, one can opt to go via the Airfreight Dr, which is a 2.1 miles route and takes around 4 minutes.

Another 5-minute-long alternative is that one can drive via the Phillips Ln or through the Crittenden Dr.

On the other hand, concertgoers can take the bus which takes around 18 minutes, or take a 39-minute walk to be at the Highland Festival Grounds from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

Bourbon And Beyond Schedule is set from September 14th to the 17th. The daily schedule showing which artists will perform at what time has not been released.

Generally, the festivities commence at 12 noon and last up to 11 at night. Last year, the full timetable of the music festival was dropped around the end of August. So, we can expect the same this year.

On their official website, they have noted that gate times will be announced when the event is just around the corner. But they hinted it might open between 11 am to 12 pm.

Usually, one performance will last from 25 minutes to 1 hour. On rare occasions, some musical acts might last for 90 minutes.

Talking about the final acts of the day, it can go up to 2 hours. For instance, Chris Stapleton performed at Oak Stage from 8:50 pm to 10:30 pm on Sunday, September 18 in the previous year's event.

Bourbon And Beyond tickets are available at $99.99 for a single day in the general admission section. For VIP Admission, the pass can be purchased at $219.99.

For the weekend passes, the prices start at $249.99 and $629.99 respectively All Festival Tickets. Vivid Seats offers tickets ranging from $101 to an average of $1121.

The tickets have been segregated into different tiers such as:

• General Admission
• VIP
• MINT VIP
• BEYOND VIP

The most affordable are the general admission tickets, and BEYOND VIP tickets are high priced. According to the price they pay, fans will receive comfort and convenience.

Per Vivid Seats, the tickets for Sep 16 and Sep 17 are selling fast compared to other dates. It is probably because Saturday and Sunday are holidays.

It was recently shared that the festival's special Beyond VIP tickets are sold out. But the fans can still collect passes such as Camping Passes, and Angel’s Envy Beyond VIP Passes for the event.

Bourbon And Beyond is a multi-day festival celebrating bourbon and the food of Louisville. It also aims in honoring the artistry of master distillers and chefs.

Danny Wimmer Presents created this festival as a platform for bourbon enthusiasts, and culinary artists of the city to come together and immerse in Louisville culture with amazing musical performances by talented artists.

Kentucky itself is recognized for its Bourbon production, and the festival shed light on award-winning bourbon, as well as master distillers. Cuisines and musical acts enhanced the event.

In 2019, the number rose to 91,000. That is why, from a 2-day festival it has turned into a 4-day affair today.
