Nash Yarn Fest 2027
About this Event
What: Nash Yarn Fest, a gathering of knitters, crocheters, fiber lovers, with a marketplace, joyous classes, meetups, and a really big party.
When: Friday, March 12, and Saturday, March 13, 2027
Who: You! Plus 100+ vendors from 30 states and Canada! And a happy horde of fellow knitters and crocheters from all over.
Where: The Fairgrounds Nashville, a state-of-the-art space, air conditioned, with a courtyard outside. It’s in the center of Nashville, just down the road from MDK World Headquarters. We’re thrilled to have a wonderful space for this gathering.
Plus, a really cool new thing this year: we're adding three Big Make Togethers—group classes led by star teachers on both Friday and Saturday. Imagine a room full of friendly folks making stuff together in a jolly way—without having to leave Nash Yarn Fest. The Big Make Together is our answer to the deepest desire of all fiber folk: to sit with other makers and learn a cool new thing. Read all the details below. Please note The Big Make Together is a separate ticket, not included in the day passes.
There are several ways to attend Nash Yarn Fest. We’ve set up the events as separate tickets so you can choose your adventure as you like. Please note: Each of The Big Make Together workshops is a separate ticket, not included in the day passes.
