The Memphis Brewfest 2026

Memphis Brewfest claims the title of the city’s biggest craft beer celebration for a reason — dozens of breweries pour side by side at Shelby Farms Park, backed by live music and enough open green space to make a full afternoon of it.

Shelby Farms’ size means plenty of room to spread out between pours, so expect a festival that feels more like a beer-focused picnic than a packed indoor tasting. Day-drinkers who want to sample widely without committing to a single brewery’s taproom should treat this as the year’s best one-stop tasting trip.
