Over-21 festival with more than 250 distilled spirits and dishes from over 20 local Philadelphia restaurants at Lincoln Financial Field.
Philadelphia Magazine's Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival returns to Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, November 5, 2026. It's a one-night affair that takes over the stadium for a few hours of tasting, with the main draw being more than 250 premium distilled spirits. The whiskey is the headliner, but the list stretches well beyond it: scotch, bourbon, vodka, gin, rum, and tequila are all on the table, alongside handcrafted cocktails. You'll find the spirits poured across the grounds, with interactive spirit lounges, games, entertainment, and holiday shopping mixed in between the tasting stations.
It's not just about the drinks, though. More than 20 local Philadelphia restaurants will be there serving food, so you can pair your pours with a spread from around the city. The whole thing is built around that combination—sipping through a massive selection of spirits while sampling dishes from a long lineup of local kitchens.
There are two ways to do it. General Admission runs from 6:30 PM to 9 PM, while the VIP experience starts earlier, from 5 PM to 9 PM. That extra hour and a half gets you in before the general crowd for an exclusive opening selection, a private lounge to retreat to, and a tour of the stadium. If you're coming for the spirits and the food, the GA ticket covers the core of the night; if you want the early start and the tour, the VIP is the way to go.
