The Whiskey Riot, one of the country’s top whiskey festivals, hits Fort Worth on May 24, 2025, bringing over 200 whiskey varieties, craft cocktails, and whiskey experts to The Social Space.
Whiskey Riot began eight years ago on a cold, snowy Buffalo night. Hundreds of people, in fact 700 people, showed up to a borrowed event space where distiller Bobby Finan aimed to bring people together to promote his small-batch bourbon. The Whiskey Riot is now one of the country’s largest whiskey festivals.
The event offers unlimited tastings from 50+ brands, the chance to meet real distillers, and an open invitation to ask, learn, and sip America’s favorite spirit. The event also features creative whiskey cocktails and more.
The event for early entry ticket holders is 3 pm – 7 pm, and for general admission ticket holders 4 pm – 7 pm. General admission is $90, plus fees and taxes. The early entry fee is $120.
The event supports non-profit partners, including The Foundation for Hope Village and Family Meal Hospitality Trust.
