Grand Slam Bourbon Fest Brings Premium Bourbon, Baseball History and an Exclusive Experience to Historic League Stadium

Bourbon enthusiasts and collectors have a rare opportunity to experience one of Southern Indiana's most exclusive bourbon events as the inaugural Grand Slam Bourbon Fest comes to Historic League Stadium on Thursday, August 27.

Created to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary, the Grand Slam Bourbon Fest is limited to just 250 guests, ensuring an intimate experience with master distillers and premium bourbon brands.

Unlike a traditional bourbon festival, every ticket holder will leave with a bottle from each of the five participating distilleries. Each commemorative bottle will be personally signed by the Master Distiller, Master Blender, or owner, with one bottle produced exclusively as a limited-edition Grand Slam Bourbon Fest release. This unique six-bottle collection is included with every $500 ticket, which includes individual entry and a complimentary guest. This is a must-attend experience for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Hosted by Rally Point Events at Huntingburg League Stadium, one of America's oldest baseball stadiums and the filming location of A League of Their Own, the event combines exceptional bourbon, live entertainment and historic Americana while raising funds to support local youth and veterans.

Each $500 ticket includes:
  • Six full-size take-home bourbon bottles. One from each participating distillery, all signed by the Master Distiller, Master Blender, or owner, and one exclusive limited-edition commemorative event bottle
  • Tastings from all five premier bourbon distilleries
  • Meet-and-greet opportunities with makers
  • Live entertainment by country music artist Jason Michael Carroll
  • Bourbon education and special presentations
  • A commemorative tasting glass
  • Event gift bag
  • Complimentary admission for one guest, including cocktail bar access (additional bourbon tasting passes are available for $70).
 Participating distilleries include:
  • Field of Dreams Whiskey Company
  • Hard Truth Distilling Co.
  • McCracken Curve Distillery
  • Silk Velvet Whiskey
  • The Ingram Distillery
 Guests will also have access to the Rare Bourbon & Memorabilia giveaways, featuring an impressive collection of sought-after prizes, including:
  • Rare and allocated bourbons
  • Autographed baseball memorabilia
  • Pappy Van Winkle Reserve
  • Pendleton Director's Reserve 20-Year Whiskey
  • Additional premium spirits, collectibles and exclusive gifts
 The Grand Slam Bourbon Fest also serves as the official kickoff to an exciting country music weekend in Huntingburg. Following Thursday's bourbon event, visitors can stay for Huntingburg's popular 4th Fridays celebration with free live music, food vendors and downtown entertainment in Market Street Park Friday, August 28, followed by the RWB Music Fest on Saturday, featuring headlining band Ole 60, a six-piece band from Kentucky that blends country, rock, and folk. The event lineup creates a memorable destination weekend celebrating three iconic American traditions, bourbon, baseball and country music.

With only 250 tickets available, organizers encourage bourbon enthusiasts and collectors to purchase tickets early before the event sells out.

Proceeds from the Grand Slam Bourbon Fest benefit Rally Point Events' charitable initiatives supporting local youth and veterans, including the Optimist’s Kick for Kids shoe giveback program and Combat Boots to Work Boots program.
