Pig & Swig: Bourbon Festival

Pig & Swig is a premier bourbon festival in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, designed for both true bourbon enthusiasts and casual sippers. Hosted at Fourth Street Live!, the event brings together bold bourbon pours, BBQ-inspired food, live entertainment, and interactive experiences for a full day of tasting and discovery. Guests can sample 100+ bourbons, including rare and allocated selections, with brand representatives on site to share insight into each pour, from production to tasting notes. Expect highly sought-after bottles such as Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year and Blanton's Straight From the Barrel, alongside crave-worthy BBQ small plates like pork belly, smoked wings, and jalapeño poppers.

Beyond food and bourbon, Pig & Swig features interactive activations throughout the district, including the Ember and Ash Cigar Lounge, yard games, a mechanical bull, and brand experiences like the Jack Daniel's T-shirt station. Live entertainment sets the tone all day with DJs, acoustic acts, and full bands performing across multiple venues, creating a high-energy festival atmosphere in the heart of Louisville.
