LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 11, 2025) – Sip, savor, and support a good cause! Metro United Way’s United Spirits Fall Festival is back this year at the beautiful Progress Park on Thursday, Oct. 23 from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are now on sale!
Featuring spirits tastings, curated food pairings, live music and other entertainment, a cigar lounge, and even a s’mores bar, United Spirits provides guests with an unmatched fall festival experience that supports the crucial work of Metro United Way.
Metro United Way works every day to lift people from hardship to hope, focusing on three priorities: thriving kids, strong households, and an equitable community.
It’s on a mission to lift 260,000 people from hardship to hope by 2030. This could mean an additional 15,500 individuals in the workforce and a $776 million impact on our local economy.
But this work cannot happen without the community’s support! United Spirits is the nonprofit’s signature fundraising event of the year.
Metro United Way has again partnered with Kentucky’s Original Black Bourbon Enthusiasts (KOBBE) to help curate the evening’s experiences and live and silent auctions, which will feature rare bottles and exclusive spirit experiences.
Guests will enjoy the unique venue and wide variety of offerings including bourbon, wine, and new this year—gin and tequila tastings and specialty cocktails! Other complimentary beverages will also be available, along with chef-curated food stations.
“We want United Spirits to be a way for more people to get involved with the transformative work we’re doing,” Adria Johnson, Metro United Way’s President and CEO, said. “We’re excited to host the community for a night of fun while they learn about our work and give back.”
Individual tickets are $100. A limited number of tables are available for $950, which includes entrance for 10 guests. Visit metrounitedway.org/UnitedSpirits to purchase tickets and get more information. The event was at maximum capacity in its inaugural year, so get your tickets before they sell out! All proceeds from the event will benefit the work of Metro United Way.
