Rotary Club of Carmel announces BourbonFest date

The Rotary Club of Carmel announces the third annual BourbonFest event scheduled for Saturday, April 27, hosted by Platform 24, located at 12400 N. Meridian St., Carmel.

Guests will enjoy food samplings from some of the best restaurants in Indianapolis such as Sulllivan’s Steakhouse, Peterson’s Steak and Seafood, Eddie Merlot’s, Arni’s, Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Oca, The Den by Foxgardin and A Cut Above Catering, each paired with select bourbons while listening to live music. Beer and wine will also be available.

VIP tickets are limited with a 5:30 p.m. admission time. Ticketholders will receive an expert guided tasting tour of bourbon, a commemorative rocks glass and priority access to food sampling. The main event will open at 6:30 p.m.

“We’d like to thank our title sponsor and event venue Platform 24,” said Carmel Rotarian Thaddeus Rex. “Platform 24 brings a sense of community to entrepreneurship in the Indy metro area. This sense of coming together is exactly how a community becomes greater than the sum of its parts, core values of the Rotary Club. This event would not be possible without all of our BourbonFest sponsors.”

“We are so excited to partner for this event,” said Tony Unfried, co-founder of Platform 24, a place where area entrepreneurs can come together for the greater good of the region. “The opportunity to help an organization like Rotary raise funds for these important projects is simply more exciting than we’ve ever dreamed.”

According to club president Jon Walker, the Rotary Club of Carmel has raised funding to dig wells in Africa, build schools in Haiti and has provided grants and other monetary assistance to the community of Carmel as just a few of their charitable accomplishments. The world’s first Rotary Club was founded over 100 years ago.

BourbonFest attendees must be 21 years of age to attend.
