Memphis Brewfest

Over 100 craft beers from 40-plus breweries pour at Shelby Farms Park for Memphis Brewfest, one of the city’s biggest summer beer events. It’s a sprawling outdoor affair with room to actually move around, which matters when there are that many breweries competing for your glass.

Live music and food trucks round out the day, so it’s built as a full-day outing rather than a quick tasting stop. Shelby Farms’ green space gives it room to breathe — grab a spot on the grass between rounds and let the afternoon stretch into evening.
