Firefly Distillery Events

If you visit their News & Events page, you’ll be able to tap into their entire calendar of events, which usually stretches about two months in advance, giving you plenty of time to plan your next outing at the distillery. On the calendar, you’ll see highlighted Food Truck Days, yoga events, live music, free admission days, specialty flea markets, and more. No matter what you’re interested in, there’s likely to be an event you’ll love at this distillery. The calendar gets updated periodically, so be sure to keep checking in for updated entries and times. The Firefly Distillery concert is one of the biggest draws to the area. You can bring blankets and chairs and sit out in the 4-acre field to enjoy one of the many musical guests they bring to the distillery multiple times per month. Concerts usually start around 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and they can get packed, so plan ahead and get there as soon as the doors open! Want to host your own event at the distillery? That’s no problem!

The distillery as a whole spans over 25,000 feet and has a capacity of just over 2,000 people, so there’s no need to worry about whether or not they can accommodate your special event.

The Spirits Don’t Disappoint

In the midst of all the amazing activities and events hosted by the distillery, don’t forget that they’re a distillery first and foremost – and a dang good one at that. Their vodka is famous across the country, especially their Lemonade Vodka. As a southern distillery, they’d be remiss if they didn’t offer an impressive selection of moonshine, as well. Try White Lightning for that traditional, made-in-the-hills taste or Apple Pie moonshine for a sweet twist on the moonshine we all know and love (except the minors among us). Rum and Firefly specialties, like Sweet Tea whiskey, Coconut Cake liqueur, and Sea Island Java rum, abound, too.
