Bourbon and Bowties

Bourbon and Bowties Since 2015, we've helped strengthen communities and create lasting impact across MD.

Bourbon & Bowties is a 501(c)(3) organization hosting signature events featuring exceptional food, drinks, and experiences, all supporting meaningful charitable causes. Bourbon & Bowties is QG Community Charities' annual charity fundraiser, held each year on the Thursday following the Kentucky Derby. Bourbon & Bowties is the premier charity event of the year in the Baltimore area, and in the last

two years, has raised more than $550,000 for charities with a local impact. Bourbon & Bowties is held at B & O Railroad Museum and provides its guests with an outside tent, fine bourbon, spirits, beer and wine, and world class ci**rs, all complemented by delectable food from the area’s best dining establishments. Live and silent auctions offer additional opportunities to support our charities. We ask attendees to wear bowties during the day of the event to raise awareness for the charities we are supporting and as a sign of commitment to making Baltimore a little more handsome (or beautiful).

It’s Whiskey Sour Day, but around here, bourbon gets the pour. 🥃🍋

A little tart, a little sweet and exactly how a classic should be. We’re giving the Whiskey Sour the Bourbon & Bowties treatment with a generous pour of bourbon, fresh lemon and just enough sweetness to balance it all out.

Save the recipe, shake one up tonight and consider it a little practice for October. 🎭🥃

Happy National Oyster Day! 🦪

Did you know the oysters you'll enjoy at the Masquerade come from our friends at The Local Oyster, one of Maryland's premier oyster companies?

Even better, one of the nonprofit beneficiaries is Oyster Recovery Partnership, whose work helps restore the Chesapeake Bay by planting millions of oysters each year. A single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water every day, making them one of nature's hardest workers.

So when you raise an oyster at the Masquerade you're celebrating one of Maryland's greatest natural resources while supporting the people working to protect it.

We'll cheers to that. 🥂🦪💙

🐾 Happy National Mutt Day! ❤️

Whether they're rescued, adopted, purebred, mixed breed, or a little bit of everything, every dog deserves a little extra love today (and every day).

One of the reasons we love our friends at Blue Pit BBQ & Whiskey Bar? Their dog-friendly patio welcomes four-legged friends with water bowls, treats, and plenty of tail wags. That's the kind of hospitality we can get behind.

Now it's your turn... show us your favorite mutt! Drop a photo in the comments. 👇🐶
