Knoxville Brewfest | 15th Annual | World's Fair Park Performance Lawn

Brewfest is back and it's our biggest celebration yet! The 15th Annual Knoxville Brewfest will be held Saturday, June 20th , 2026 at World's Fair Park Performance Lawn in downtown Knoxville, TN.

We're doing things a little differently this year with ONE BIG session packed with more 'fun in a glass' than ever before! VIP kicks off at 3:30PM while GA entry starts at 4:30PM. Breweries, beer lovers, and enthusiasts from all over the region will gather for an incredible summer afternoon sampling fresh beers of every color, styles, and flavors.

Here's what's brewing:

Over 50 breweries will be pouring their finest selections, including several exclusive releases you won't find anywhere else. Your GA ticket gets you festival entry, commemorative tasting glass, live entertainment on our main stage, and unlimited tastings from all participating breweries.

Want the VIP treatment? Upgrade for an hour of early entry (trust us, you'll want first crack at any limited pours). You'll also get delicious appetizers from our amazing partner Real Good Kitchen, air-conditioned bathroom facilities, and additional perks that make your Brewfest experience even more enjoyable.

The atmosphere is unbeatable - grab a sampler, mingle with fellow beer enthusiasts, and play in the 'adult playground'.

After 15 years, it's our biggest and best Knoxville Brewfest yet!

All proceeds from Knoxville Brewfest benefit CureDuchenne, making every sip count toward an amazing cause.

Important note: This event has sold out multiple years running, so don't wait too long to grab your spot. With only 2,000 tickets available, once they're gone, they're gone.
See you there for the biggest and best Knoxville Brewfest yet!
