Fans can also enjoy a full week of festivities at Ole Smoky's The Holler Distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee including:

• A Moonshine Lemonade Stand featuring special drink kits, while supplies last

Born in the hills of Tennessee and steeped in American tradition, moonshine is more than a drink—it's a legacy. That's why Ole Smoky created National Moonshine Week: a full-on, good-time celebration of the craft, the culture, and the community that's kept moonshine flowing for generations. Timed to coincide with National Moonshine Day on June 5, Ole Smoky celebrates all week long to honor the spirit!

"National Moonshine Week is all about honoring our roots and raising a glass to the good stuff," said Stephanie Moraine, marketing director, Ole Smoky Distillery. "However you celebrate—at the bar, at home, or in Nashville if you're lucky—make it count with Ole Smoky. National Moonshine Week is our way of honoring our legacy while inviting people everywhere to celebrate in their own way, whether that's with a jar of White Lightnin' and some lemonade on the porch, or by joining us in Tennessee."
