Knoxville Brewfest is East Tennessee's premier craft beer festival, held annually at World's Fair Park Lake in downtown Knoxville. The 2026 edition marks the festival's 15th year of bringing the community together over good beer. The event features two sessions — an afternoon session from 1-4 PM and an evening session from 6-9 PM. Tickets include entry, a commemorative tasting glass, festival map, live entertainment, and beer tastings.
Net proceeds benefit Cure Duchenne, a national nonprofit raising awareness and funds to find a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. All attendees must be 21 or older with a valid ID.
Knoxville Brewfest launched in 2011 as a community-driven craft beer celebration in Knoxville's iconic World's Fair Park, the site of the 1982 World's Fair. Over 15 years, the festival has grown into one of East Tennessee's most anticipated annual events, combining the city's love of craft beer with its commitment to charitable causes. Net proceeds benefit Cure Duchenne, a national nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The festival's two-session format — afternoon and evening — allows more attendees to experience the event while keeping each session intimate. Set along the park's picturesque lake, attendees enjoy live music and sample fresh beers of all colors, styles, and flavors while supporting a meaningful cause.
