Whiskey Washback and Arte Agave Festivals Are Selling Out Nationwide in 2025
Arte Agave is always a great time, featuring great spirits, traditional art and dance and delicious bites.
If you’ve been to a Bottle Raiders event, you already know the vibes: packed rooms, killer drinks, live music and a crowd of passionate spirits enthusiasts who care about what’s in their glasses. From tequila and mezcal to bourbon and rye, Arte Agave and Whiskey Washback are hitting a serious stride in 2025.
From Arizona to Chicago to Miami and beyond, every single event so far this year has sold out.
A Big Year for Agave and Whiskey
Arte Agave and Whiskey Washback aren’t new to the scene, but attendance has exploded in 2025. Compared to last year, Arte Agave Chicago ticket sales grew by 316%, while Arte Agave Miami jumped 242% and Whiskey Washback Atlanta saw a 221% increase.
That’s not a little buzz; it’s real momentum.
These aren’t just drink festivals — they’re full-on cultural experiences. Think 100+ spirits, custom cocktails, food that goes way beyond bar snacks and legit performances — from mariachi bands to folklórico dancers to soul musicians. It’s the kind of event where you go for the drinks and stay because it’s just a great night.
