Hometown Rising is the first-ever country music and bourbon festival! It happens this fall in Louisville with Tim McGraw, Little Big Town and more.

Along with McGraw and LBT, Keith Urban and Luke Bryan also lead the lineup. Dwight Yoakam, Brett Young, Jake Owen, Lindsay Ell, Kassi Ashton, Lauren Alaina

Bourbon authority and best-selling author Fred Minnick is the festival’s official spirits curator. He’s helped to assemble onsite experiences including bourbon tastings and workshops for fans that are 21 and up.
