Bourbon & Beyond<\/strong> and the Danny Wimmer Presents <\/strong>team are thrilled to announce that the festival was just named Pollstar<\/em>\u2019s Music Festival of the Yea<\/strong>r (Global, over 30k in attendance). The 36th annual Pollstar Awards have been recognizing and supporting the live entertainment businesses\u2019 most innovative companies, venues, artists, tours, and executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDanny and his team put on a world class festival. From an artist\u2019s perspective, I can feel the love and intention they put into every step of the process. It is zero surprise to me that they won Festival of The Year,\u201d said Patrick Hallahan <\/strong>with My Morning Jacket<\/a>, <\/strong>who performed at the festival last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis award belongs to every single person who has supported Bourbon & Beyond<\/strong> along the way, and we are honored to be in a category with icons like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Stagecoach, Austin City Limits and BottleRock. Our fans are the heart and soul of this festival, and we can\u2019t wait to celebrate with you all this September,\u201d said Danny Wimmer<\/strong>, Founder of Danny Wimmer Presents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP)<\/strong> also recently announced a long-term agreement with Kentucky Venues to host both Bourbon & Beyond <\/strong>and Louder Than Life<\/strong> music festivals at the Highland Festival Grounds.  The 10-year commitment runs from 2026-2035 and showcases both DWP <\/strong>and the city\u2019s commitment to Louisville\u2019s cultural and economic future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, both festivals generated over $33 million in economic impact in total, according to Louisville Tourism. This impact was felt strongly across hotels, short-term rentals, transportation providers, and restaurants. Since their first Louisville festival in 2014, the DWP festivals have experienced remarkable growth, expanding from 36,000 attendees over two days to nearly 400,000 attendees over eight days. The 2024 edition was a record-breaking year, with over 70% of fans coming from outside Louisville, representing all 50 states and 27 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYear after year, Bourbon & Beyond<\/strong> continues to amaze us with its innovation, growth, and popularity, so it\u2019s no surprise it was named the Pollstar<\/em> Music Festival of the Year,\u201d said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg.<\/strong> \u201cThis is a well-deserved recognition for Danny<\/strong> and the entire DWP <\/strong>team. As the festival continues to grow, we will be ready to welcome even more first time visitors to Bourbon & Beyond<\/strong> 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations to Bourbon & Beyond<\/strong> and the entire Danny Wimmer Presents<\/strong> team for being named Pollstar<\/em> Music Festival of the Year. We are so grateful for making Kentucky your home and look forward to the next 10 years together,\u201d said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBourbon & Beyond<\/strong> is more than just a music festival \u2014 it\u2019s a celebration of everything that makes Kentucky special. From our world-class bourbon to the incredible local food and craftsmanship on display, this event shines a national spotlight on the best of Kentucky agriculture. We\u2019re proud to see our farmers, distillers, and artisans take center stage and show the world what \u2018Kentucky Proud\u2019 really means,\u201d said Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

That same Kentucky bourbon spirit is thriving beyond the festival, with brands like Rebel Bourbon introducing its new Butter Pecan Bourbon Cream, according to a release on MyBeerBuzz.com<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
