FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE—Tickets are selling fast for the eighth annual Franklin Main Street Brew Fest on Saturday, March 13, from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 the day of the event if any of the 1,500 tickets remain. Included are tastings of more than 40 beers and a sampling of Irish whiskey in the Main Street shops.
Main Street is closed to vehicle traffic that night but free and open to pedestrian traffic with most shops and restaurants open throughout the event, and you don't need a ticket to the event to enjoy your favorite restaurant that night.
Attendees are encouraged to find safe ways to celebrate. The Franklin Transit Authority provides transportation to and from any address inside the city limits of Franklin for $6 round trip per person.

up to 24 hours prior to the event’s start time. Better yet—organize a group from your neighborhood and take the trolley together.
Also, you can bring your own designated driver who can visit the tasting sites with you, but only participants checked in with a wristband and glass are allowed to taste.
Ticket holders will check-in in front of the Franklin Theatre at 419 Main Street, near the intersection of 4th Avenue and 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.
While the Brew Fest is going on, all the usual activity of Downtown Franklin will be in full swing. Adding to the fun will be several Celtic groups playing on the street and even a few bagpipers! On Fourth Avenue, look for Irish-themed festival food including fish and chips, roasted corn and potatoes, Irish stew and kettle corn.
“With the event just four days before St. Patrick’s Day, it brings out the Irish in everyone,” said Downtown Franklin Association President Andy Marshall, owner of Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant. “Wearing of the green is welcome and encouraged!”
