Where Does the Lansing Bourbon Festival Take Place?

The Lansing Bourbon Fest will be held inside the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum on Museum Drive in Lansing.

Festivalgoers are invited to enjoy more than 100 whiskeys and bourbons, along with classic cocktails and a high-end bottle section.

Organizers say that most of the festival's offerings will be different varieties of bourbon, however, they promise a few non-bourbon options include beer, wine and a handful of non-alcoholic choices. Food trucks, live music, and vendors will also be on-site.
