Located in The Barn at Fritz Farm, Whiskey Bear will welcome Festival guests with its extensive selection of bourbons and crafted cocktails to toast Kentucky’s proud heritage and one of its most celebrated equine residents — Secretariat.

The Pre-Party will serve as a gathering place where fans can see old friends and meet new ones. Festival happy hour specials will be available on draft beers, house wines and the evening’s signature libation, the “Big Red” made with fine Kentucky bourbon and ginger beer! The Summit at Fritz Farm has more than 20 dining options and 60 street-level shops to explore, including the Ariat Brand Shop featuring the finest in equestrian boots and apparel.

Located at the intersection of Man O’ War Boulevard and Nicholasville Road in Lexington. Kick off the Festival at this favorite fan tradition!
