By: Aaron B. Cohen | July 25, 2022

The 5th Annual Detroit Whiskey Festival returns to Eastern Market Friday, July 29.

The strolling and tasting event provides Metro Detroiters the unique opportunity to interact directly with representatives from the world’s most influential brands, while simultaneously exploring their own palate and taste preferences…

“It started with an opportunity,” said founder, Travis Fourmont, who, along with partner, Anthony Morrow (Pulp Media), have built Whiskey Fest into Detroit’s boldest whiskey event. “When we started, I was in the industry working for a distributor. We wanted to get all the suppliers involved. Get them engaged in the market. A lot of bars, restaurants, and even retail stores come there to see what kind of new products are available. It’s a lot of great networking… but then it’s also just a great party.”

It’s this combination of industry expertise and community that defines the Detroit Whiskey Festival’s appeal. Tickets are available in multiple tiers…
