WHISKEY REBELLION FESTIVAL

JULY 11-12, 2025

Main Street, Washington, PA

Raise the flag of rebellion! The Whiskey Rebellion Festival celebrates Washington County's history as the site of the nation's first rebellion over the excise tax placed on crops like rye, wheat and corn in 1791. In addition to paying homage to America's early days through historic reenactments, period exhibits and demonstrations, the Whiskey Rebellion Festival features live music, delicious food, craft vendors, kids' activities and, of course, plenty of whiskey and other libations.
