Do ticket holders need a physical ticket to enter the event? No. Event attendees will check in at the check table at the north end of Highland Ave. between FM Pizza and Standard Collective.
Do you have to be a ticket holder to enter the event? No. The event is open to the public to enjoy the live music, cash bar, food trucks, food stations and merchants tables. You cannot sample whiskey from the tasting tents or enter the VIP Lounge without a ticket.
How does the whiskey tasting on Highland Ave. work? For Whiskey Sampler, Highland Pass and VIP Key tickets, you will be issued tickets to hand to whiskeys reps who are presenting the 35+ brands in the tasting tents.
When should I get to the event? The event runs from 4–9pm so anytime after 4:00 is fine…BUT the later you arrive, the greater the chance that some of the popular whiskeys will be gone. So don’t arrive at 8:00pm if you want the full choice of 60+ whiskeys.
Can I buy whiskey at the event? Yes. You can buy whiskey cocktails at our cash bar. For buying bottles of the whiskeys being presented that night, you can scan the QR codes posted at the tasting tents to order whiskey from the Mansion.
Will there be live music? Yes. We have a stage with Rios Rockband performing.
What food options do ticketholders have? You will be given a ticket good for a meal at any of the food trucks available.
What and where is the VIP lounge? Located in Derek Gores Galler on Highland Ave., this is a honky tonk lounge accessible only to sponsors and VIP Key holders. With its own bar, comfy seating and bathrooms; the VIP Lounge offers a cool getaway from the action on the street.
What drinks are available at the cash bar? We will have whiskey, vodka, rum and gin cocktails as well as wine, water and Intracoastal draft beer.
