In addition to attending a business conference, a lineup of live performances and an awards show, World of Bluegrass ticket-holders can eat and drink their way around town as over 20 local restaurants and bars offer deals and specials during the festival.

At Feed Table and Tavern on Main Street, ticket-holders can get a blueberry mule for a discounted price of $8. The restaurant uses its own blueberry-infused vodka and house-made ginger beer for the cocktail, Feed owner Adam Bentley said in an interview.
