Casey Jones Distillery’s signature summer festival, Red, White, & Booze, continues through the holiday weekend with an expanded lineup of live patriotic music, bourbon experiences, food and community celebration. The event runs through Sunday, July 6, is free to attend and is open to all ages.

The highlight of this year’s festivities is a patriotic music weekend, headlined by a special performance by the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Band on Saturday, July 5 at 6:30 PM.

Bring your chairs, your friends and family.

“We’re incredibly proud to host these performances that honor the heart of our region—our veterans, service members, and community,” Peg Hays, co-founder of Casey Jones Distillery, said in a news release. “These bands, the Pennyrile Area Community Band and 101st Band never fails to bring the spirit, and pairing that with small-batch bourbon and Smokin O’s BBQ? That’s a Kentucky summer at its best.”
