5th Annual Touch of Brews Festival Returns to Sevier Park October 4
The beloved Touch of Brews Festival is back for its 5th year, bringing music, craft beer, and family-friendly fun to Sevier Park in the heart of 12 South on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Presented by Rhizome Productions and featuring craft beers by Dogfish Head, this full-day celebration (11 a.m.–10 p.m.) promises an unforgettable blend of entertainment, community, and good vibes.
Festivalgoers can expect a stellar lineup of local and national musicians including Gabe Dixon, Paul McDonald, Sneezy, Certainly So, and more. The Nashville and Franklin School of Rock youth bands (ages 6–17) kick off the day at 11:30 a.m., while the one-of-a-kind Nashville Is Dead super group will close out the night.
In true Touch of Brews fashion, the event welcomes the whole family — kids, dogs, and everyone in between. A free Kids Zone, staffed by local educators, will be open all day with arts and crafts, face painting, a 9-hole mini golf course, sensory play stations, and “controlled chaos” fun. Guests will also enjoy interactive activities from the Adventure Science Center and the always-popular instrument petting zoo by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Beyond the stage, attendees can savor local food and beverage favorites, discover regional artisans and vendors along “Shakedown Street,” and of course, enjoy refreshing Dogfish Head brews.
As with all Rhizome events, a portion of the festival’s proceeds will benefit a local nonprofit. This year, Touch of Brews proudly supports the Nashville Parks Foundation (501c3), helping to enhance and preserve the city’s beloved green spaces.
“The beauty of Touch of Brews is that it’s steeped in love, inclusion, and family,” says Rhizome Productions. “So yes, bring the dogs! Bring the kids!”
Tickets are available now at touchofbrews.com. The festival is made possible thanks to the generous support of Dogfish Head, Volkswagen of Cool Springs–North Nashville, Pella Windows & Doors, and Lightning 100.
