Whiskey Warm Up, presented by Elkins Whisky, is all about our homegrown Colorado whiskey. Festival goers will receive a commemorative tasting glass to sample whiskey and other spirits from 20+ distilleries, listen to live music, peruse, and purchase goods from area vendors. You can even purchase a bottle or two from your favorite distillery to enjoy at home.
Whiskey Warm Up is held outdoors at the beautiful Riverside Plaza, so dress for the weather. This event has limited tickets and sells out quickly. Don’t miss this annual tradition of warming up from the inside out.
