St. Louis Bourbon Festival 2026

The St. Louis Bourbon Society presents St. Louis Bourbon Festival 2026 on Friday, October 9!

Prepare for a hauntingly unforgettable night — the St. Louis Bourbon Festival is creeping back, and this year it's bigger, bolder, and more spirited than ever!

Hosted by the St. Louis Bourbon Society, this wickedly fun event is more than just a whiskey lover's dream — it's a thrilling experience with heart, with a portion of every ticket supporting the heroic mission of Code 3 Response for First Responders.

This year, the festival casts its spell over four city blocks including Lemp Mansion in Benton Park, transforming historic buildings and secret spaces into eerie, immersive tasting lounges and exclusive VIP haunts.

Dare to explore a night full of live music, bone-chilling street performers, a feast of fiendishly good food trucks, "Spirits are Stirring Cocktail Competition" and two cigar patios perfect for conjuring smoky relaxation — all while sampling hundreds of ghostly-good whiskies from around the globe!

Don your finest fall attire, embrace the Halloween vibe, and join for a night where the bourbon flows and the spirits rise… Participate in the St. Louis Bourbon Festival costume contest and win ghoulish prizes!

Cheers to the spirit of St. Louis — and the spirits in your glass!
