Massive Whiskey Festival, Orlando Whiskey Riot is set to bring 150+ Pours to the city on May 9

America's largest whiskey festival will bring over 150 Whiskey and Bourbon Pours to Orlando for the first Orlando Whiskey Riot.

On Saturday May 9, 2026, for the first time,  a new event, the Orlando Whiskey Riot festival will bring 150+ whiskies and bournons from local, regional, national and international brands to the Central Florida Fairgrounds. There will also be an opportunity for visitors to the festival to enjoy creative whiskey cocktails, and opportunities to meet master distillers and more.

Now in its 9th year of touring, Whiskey Riot has become nationally renowned as the event of the year for whiskey lovers and the whiskey curious.  Not only does the event bring an extraordinary list of whiskey brands together under one roof, it also provides exclusive access to brand founders and industry experts in order to create an immersive experience unlike anything else in town.
