Sea Dragon + Ferris Wheel

Yes, most ferris wheels are all pretty similar. But, when you are savoring an aerial view over all of Waterfront Park and admiring the glittery atmosphere of Forecastle Festival, you will understand how this one is different. Attendees can also take a ride on the mighty Sea Dragon for a bit of excitement in between performances. It is a great way to get your adrenaline going.

The Forecastle Bourbon Lodge

With the help of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, this immersive experience features exclusive bourbon tastings, culinary adventures, and a swanky Lizard Lounge inspired by Hunter S. Thompson. Festival-goers must purchase a Bourbon Lodge Membership in advance of the festival ($35 at the festival, $30 in advance). You will have access to the Sierra Nevada Specialty Bar on the patio of the Bourbon Lodge where you can indulge in the limited edition bourbon barrel aged series. With air conditioning, private restroom trailers, and all the flights from Bulleit Bourbon, Larceny Bourbon, and more, this is definitely a top activation at Forecastle Festival.

The Forecastle Foundation

This is an ongoing arm of Forecastle’s activism, where festival attendees and others can get involved in protecting the planet’s natural resources. The Forecastle Foundation focuses on biodiversity hotspots and has donated more than $500,000 in 2018 alone to local and global conservation projects. At the festival itself, you can visit the tent and cool down with a refreshing cocktail or snack and learn more about how you can contribute to a good cause.
