 Everybody’s Irish at the Franklin Main Street Brew Fest (Formerly Feile Franklin)
Tickets are SOLD OUT!
Historic Downtown Franklin celebrates St. Patrick’s Day early on Saturday, March 13th with the Franklin Main Street Brew Fest (formerly Féile Franklin). Tickets are $35 and include tastings of more than 50 beers and a sampling of Irish whiskey in the Main Street shops from 6 to 9 p.m. Main Street is closed to vehicle traffic but free and open to pedestrian traffic with most shops and restaurants open throughout the event.
- *The Franklin Transit Service is using every vehicle they have, and they are sold out for this event. The trolleys will be dropping off and picking up in the alley behind Starbucks for the ticket holders who already have reservations.
- Cabs, cars and limos will be waiting in front of the 4th Avenue South parking garage at 9 p.m. to take event participants home.
- Ticket holders are also encouraged to bring designated drivers who can walk around with them but not taste.
On Fourth Avenue, look for Irish-themed festival food including fish and chips, roasted corn and potatoes, Irish stew and kettle corn. The event is in its eighth year and formerly featured a street festival throughout the day. This year, the street will remain open throughout the day for regular business, closing at 4 p.m. to set-up for the evening event.
Ticket holders will check in at the Franklin Theatre on Main Street to get their special tasting glasses, a map to the tasting sites, and a description of the beers and Irish whiskey to sample. Check-in is available from 5 p.m. throughout the event, but the tasting sites open at 6 p.m.
We're hoping for a sell-out at 1,500 tickets! Thanks to Lipman Brothers, Battle Ground Brewery, Cool Springs Brewery and Bounty Beverages for providing all the product for the tasting.
All proceeds will go to Downtown Franklin Association for promotion and continued revitalization of the historic district, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the National Trust as a Great American Main Street and a Preserve America community.
For information on site, come by the headquarters tent at the Franklin Theatre on Main Street. Tasting tickets will be available there during the event for $35 if not sold out in advance.
