ABOUT THE VENUE:

At Casey Jones Distillery, each batch of their moonshine is handcrafted in their prohibition-style copper still, using only the best part of the run. The result is a spirit so pure and smooth it just might sneak up on you. Located on just over 70 acres in beautiful Christian County, Kentucky, Casey Jones Distillery is a great place to spend the day. You can sip authentic Kentucky moonshine on the back porch, go for a walk around their piece of Kentucky countryside, or even snap a picture at the waterfall.

The gates open at 10:00am with warm up music starting on the back porch at 2:30pm before the 7:00pm show.
