Core memories are made somewhere between the barricade and the chorus.

Bourbon & Beyond just took home the 2026 IEBA Festival of the Year award. Presented by Danny Wimmer Presents, Bourbon & Beyond has become more than a festival, it’s a destination where music, bourbon, food, culture and unforgettable experiences come together.
From five stages and some of the biggest names in music to bourbon tastings, culinary experiences and a festival experience unlike anything else, 2026 proved once again that there’s no place quite like Louisville in September.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible artists, partners, team and especially our fans who continue to make Bourbon & Beyond what it is. This award belongs to all of you!
Summer camp, but the counselors are rockstars and bedtime is after the encore. 🏕️
Four days of music, food, friends and questionable sleep schedules.
For Tyler and his wife Amanda, & Beyond is more than a festival, it’s a tradition they share and one they weren’t going to let Stage 4 brain cancer take away.
For his @LTDFoundation Dream Day, Tyler met some of the artists whose music has been a source of strength throughout his fight against cancer, including @ChrisStapleton, @DaveMatthewsBnd, @PortugalTheMan, and @JessieMurphhh. He also got to watch @KaceyMusgraves side stage, was surprised with autographed merch from @MumfordAndSons, and was gifted a bottle of Chris Stapleton’s whiskey autographed by the man himself. 🥃
But the most meaningful part of the weekend was spending it side by side with his wife, turning a weekend at their favorite festival into a memory they’ll carry forever. ❤️

Rachel’s Dream Day with @DaveMatthewsBnd ❤️
Battling Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer, Rachel was determined to make it to @AndBeyondFest to see her favorite artist, Dave Matthews. But her Dream Day turned into so much more than just watching his set. She was surprised with a backstage meet-and-greet where they spent time joking, laughing, and sharing stories. He signed her shirt, posed for photos, and gave her a memory she’ll never forget.
It was a reminder that even in the toughest battles, moments of joy can still shine through.

our days. One city. A whole lot of soul in the frame.
From the first pour to the final note, every corner of this weekend told a different story. The music, the food, the people, the energy and all those moments in between came together to create something that could only happen here in Louisville.
You sang along. You raised a glass. You found new favorites and came back for the ones you already loved. Most of all, you made this weekend your own.
Louisville, thank you for showing up, staying awhile and going BEYOND with us. Until next time. ✨
