The 23,000 square foot facility includes a 7,000 sq. ft. multi-level event space that is privately booked most weekends for weddings and receptions, along with Distillery seasonal events like Dueling Pianos and a Craftsmen’s Fair. But, it’s also played host to community events like the Go Commando Half Marathon, the Customs House Museum’s Flying High, and the inaugural Bacon & Bourbon Festival planned for August 24th, 2018.
