Kill the Lights Beer Festival 2026 – Knoxville

Xul Beer Company throws its 5th annual Kill the Lights Beer Festival at Covenant Health Park, packing the concourse with over 200 beers from 100 breweries from around the world alongside new merch drops and a live DJ. It’s a proper afternoon session – GA gates open at noon, tasting glass in hand, working your way through more breweries than you could realistically hit in one sitting.

You have to be 21+ with ID to drink, and this one’s adults-only – no kids, no pets, so line up a sitter and make it your afternoon. Rideshare in if you can since parking fills up around the stadium fast, eat a real meal beforehand, and pace yourself across the four hours – water’s provided and you’ll want it.
