LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The inaugural Bourbon & Barbeque Louisville will be held at Waterfront Park in late 2022, Mayor Greg Fischer announced on Wednesday.

The event will pair Kentucky distillers with local barbeque pitmasters for a culinary experience this fall.

“There’s no question that Louisville continues to build on its reputation as a world-class hospitality city," Fischer said in a news release. "We’ve been building our Bourbonism brand for a number of years, and today the city is home to 10 distillery experiences, and the Urban Bourbon Experience, a citywide trail that’s filled with award-winning micro-distilleries, exhibits and craft cocktail destinations." 

There will be offerings from American barbeque, Korean BBQ and Tandoori, among others. 

A musical program is also being worked on for the event.

Bourbon & Barbeque Louisville will be at Waterfront Park, the Swing Garden and The Big Four Lawn from Nov. 10-12.

Tickets go on sale later this summer and range from $175-$250. For more information, click here.
