Railbird just wouldn’t be a Kentucky festival without Bourbon. The Rickhouse will be home to a highly-curated Bourbon experience, with hand-selected barrels from Kentucky’s finest distilleries and immersive whiskey experiences. Bourbon Barrel selections will be chosen in collaboration with Academy Award-nominee and Lexington-based filmmaker, AJ Hochhalter, well-known for producing the 2018 documentary NEAT: The Story of Bourbon.

General Admission, VIP, and Superfecta weekend passes will be available to the public beginning on Thursday, March 28th at 10 a.m. (CST) here. Layaway plans will be offered for all ticket levels, with first payments starting at less than $40 plus fees for GA.
