Celebrate a Glass Town Legacy… in Style!

June 18-21, 2026

Bottoms Up is the nation’s first event dedicated to the celebration of midcentury barware culture. It’s situated in the heart of Ohio, a state that’s historically significant as a major producer of midcentury glassware. Settle into a walkable downtown with events and activities that shatter expectations. This is midcentury, Midwest-style.

Rather than a traditional convention show, you can expect to find Bottoms Up across the entirety of Lancaster’s historical downtown. Attend expert presentations, mixologist classes, cocktail parties, a barware vendor show, antique car show, tiki bar and more! Plus, enjoy throwback cocktails, food and drink specials to top off the event.
