The Bacon, Bourbon & Brew Festival returns to the scenic banks of the Ohio River for a full weekend of bold flavors and high-energy fun. This mouthwatering celebration brings together three of America’s greatest indulgences — bacon, bourbon, and craft beer — in one unforgettable summer experience. From creative chef-driven dishes featuring bacon-infused bites to bourbon-glazed specialties and beer-inspired eats, every vendor serves up something savory, smoky, or spirited (and sometimes all three at once). Pair it all with expertly crafted cocktails, premium bourbon pours, and a wide selection of local and regional brews. Beyond the food and drink, the festival delivers nonstop entertainment with free live music, family-friendly attractions including inflatable activities for kids, and unbeatable riverfront views that set the perfect summer backdrop. It’s a weekend designed for food lovers, bourbon fans, craft beer enthusiasts, and anyone ready to celebrate in style. This year also features special appearances by Molly Wellmann, Cincinnati’s award-winning bourbon expert, author, and cocktail historian. Known for her deep knowledge of Kentucky’s native spirit and her legendary cocktails, Molly will host exclusive bourbon tastings and craft custom creations throughout the weekend. Guests will have the unique opportunity to learn from — and sip alongside — one of America’s most celebrated bourbon personalities. Come hungry. Come thirsty. Leave happy.
