LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The company behind Bourbon & Beyond said the annual Louisville music festival is something you can't find anywhere else.
Chamie McCurry, chief marketing officer of Danny Wimmer Presents, stopped by WDRB Mornings on Wednesday less than two months before the big week. The annual festival regularly brings tens of thousands of people to the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center. There will be more than 100 music artists performing at the four-day festival.
"It really just celebrates what makes Louisville so special in combining great culinary, amazing bourbon and the best acts out there," McCurry said Wednesday. "You cannot find an experience like this anywhere outside of Louisville."
