Two Celebrations, One Great Destination: Sauced Festival & Cardtopia Hit Factory 52 on Saturday, June 14

Looking for the ultimate summer day out? Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 14, 2025, because Factory 52 is serving up two incredible events, all in one unforgettable location. Whether you're a bourbon lover, a BBQ fanatic, a card collector, or just looking for something fun and unique to do with friends and family — Sauced Festival and Cardtopia have you covered.

🔥 Sauced: A Bourbon & BBQ Festival (2 PM – 8 PM)

After a dynamic debut in 2024, Sauced is back and smokier than ever. This year’s festival brings together bourbon brands, slow-cooked eats, and live local music.

Sample pours from iconic names like Angel’s Envy, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit, and Northern Row, alongside small-batch distillers that bourbon enthusiasts won’t want to miss. Tasting tickets are available day-of on-site (Tastings $10 for one, $40 for five), so you can sip at your own pace. In addition to bourbon, guests can enjoy a selection of craft beer and seasonal cocktails.

Food lovers, bring your appetites: The green will be packed with BBQ pop-ups dishing out saucy sliders, smoky ribs, and all the fixings. Plus, just steps away inside the Gatherall food hall, you’ll find even more dining options to keep you fueled all day long.

Groove to a full lineup of live music, including Mike Wade and the Nasty Nati Brass Band and E Over Everything. It’s the perfect backdrop to a summer Saturday — whether you're dancing with friends or lounging in the sun with a bourbon in hand.

♠️ Cardtopia: A Celebration of Bicycle’s 140th Anniversary (12 PM – 8 PM)

Kicking off a little earlier in the day, Cardtopia brings a whole different kind of magic to Factory 52 — celebrating 140 years of Bicycle Playing Cards at their historic former headquarters.

Prepare to be amazed by live performances from world-class magicians, each bringing their own flair and sleight of hand to the stage throughout the day. Dive into the past as you explore rare and historic decks pulled straight from the United States Playing Card Company archives — a rare chance to see the evolution of an American icon up close.

Feeling lucky? Head to the interactive zone where you can try your hand at poker, test your skills at card throwing, or even tap into your intuition with a tarot reading. And before you leave, be sure to stop by the Cardtopia shop, featuring limited-edition decks, fan-favorite releases, and exclusive merch perfect for collectors and casual fans alike. With special kids pricing, general admission, and VIP packages available, there’s a variety of options for this magical event. Secure your tickets today!

Why Choose When You Can Do Both?

With Sauced and Cardtopia happening side-by-side, Factory 52 is your one-stop destination for a day packed with food, flavor, history, and fun. Come early for the card magic, stay late for the bourbon and BBQ. Or flip the script — there’s no wrong way to experience it.

Bring your crew, bring your family, and make a day of it. Two unique events. One legendary location. Only on June 14, 2025, at Factory 52.
