4th Annual Detroit Bourbon & Blues Festival
About this event
A celebration of bourbon and blues music featuring tastings and live performances.
What to Expect
- 1.The festival unfolds across Detroit's Eastern Market with bourbon tasting booths set up in the market halls and in the open air, plus a rotating blues lineup on the stages. You'll wander from booth to booth, catching short sets between pours and enjoying the market atmosphere.
- 2.Expect a lively, crowded vibe with a mix of serious bourbon fans and casual tasters; lines at popular booths can get long, so have a plan but stay flexible.
- 3.Pacing is key since pours are small and the event runs through the day; snack options from market vendors help balance the palate between sips and songs.
- 4.Use the market map to locate restrooms, hydration stations, and the main stage, and factor in parking or rideshare timing as the market can get busy.
- 5.First-timer tips: bring ID and a payment method, check if tastings require a separate passport or ticket, and chat with booth staff about tasting notes to maximize each stop.
