Bourbon & Bubbles, the Dayton Art Institute’s signature bourbon and wine event, will be held Friday, Nov. 4.

After a two-year pandemic hiatus, the event, founded in 2017, returns to celebrate handcrafted bourbons, sparkling wine, gourmet food and decadent desserts.

Tickets have sold out each year and had a sellout crowd in 2019, the last year it was presented. Typically held in the spring, the fundraiser moves to the latter part of the year as a kickoff to the holiday season in November.

“We had a long discussion about how we could relaunch the event as a festive and celebratory experience in the run up to the holidays,” said DAI Director and CEO, Michael Roediger, in a release. “We are delighted to bring back Bourbon & Bubbles during the most wonderful time of the year and create an atmosphere that is magical for our guests.”
