Come out to the Frederick Fairgrounds for an evening of cocktails and distilled spirits samples from Maryland distilleries at the Frederick Craft Spirits Festival, sponsored by Uncapped. Distillery representatives will be on hand to discuss how their spirits are made, which spirits make up their portfolios, and how to use these delicious spirits in hand-crafted cocktails at home. Oh, yeah, you can purchase full cocktails and bottles of your favorite Maryland spirits at this festival, too!

Tory Pratt of Pratt Standard Cocktail Company will be offering educational seminars covering the how’s and why’s of crafting a perfect cocktail! Try your hand at making mixed drinks under the guidance of a skilled mixologist. Registration for the Pratt Standard Cocktail Seminar will take place during the event, these sessions carry an additional cost and have very limited seating.

A local food truck will be at the Frederick Spirits Festival for a-la-carte food service.
