The second day of the Bourbon & Beyond festival at Champions Park in Louisville has been cancelled.
The cumulative effect of Saturday’s bad weather has led the City of Louisville to declare Champions Park unsafe. Unfortunately, the 2nd day of Bourbon & Beyond has been canceled. We're so grateful to the fans that stuck out the rain. pic.twitter.com/N0A4dWTMYQ
