In an attempt to minimize the impact of the novel coronavirus, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival is being delayed a month and will be held Oct. 15-18.
“We are regaining 30 days of planning with this decision. We feel that with this short delay, we have time to still produce a quality event – and do it safely. We will continue to monitor the CDC, the Governor’s office and the tourism industry, and implement our own best practices developed over our 29 years in existence,” Randy Prasse, KBF President/COO, said. “Unlike some of our region’s larger events, we are smaller and more agile and can make decisions a lot closer to the target. If we do have to cancel the event, we will but we owe it to our supporters and bourbon industry partners to make every effort to produce the 2020 Festival.”
