Snail Darter Festival
Snail Darter Festival
Tennessee Brew Works, the Tennessee-based craft brewery with locations in Nashville, BNA Airport, and soon Lenoir City, will usher in spring with the inaugural Snail Darter Fest on April 25 at its new Lenoir City location, 200 East Depot Street. A portion of beer sales from this event will benefit the Kids First Child Advocacy Center (CAC) of the Ninth Judicial District serving Loudon, Meigs, Morgan and Roane Counties.
Free and open to the public, this all-day celebration will feature more than 800 pounds of fresh Gulf shrimp served with all the traditional fixings of a classic Low Country Boil. Guests can also enjoy a dynamic lineup of live music curated by the legendary Mike “Grimey” Grimes, highlighted by headliner Greasy Chicken Review.
In addition to Tennessee Brew Works’ craft beer portfolio, attendees may choose from a selection of wines, Tennessee ciders, and a limited offering of cocktails—perfect for those seeking gluten-free or beer alternatives.
Tennessee Brew Works will also be releasing several limited offering beers, including the exclusive release of the Snail Darter Amber Ale, at the festival.
SNAIL DARTER ALE: This English-style amber ale (5.25% ABV, 30 IBUs) showcases a beautifully layered malt profile, opening with delicate aromas of apricot and plum. On the palate, those subtle fruit notes unfold into a harmonious depth of caramel and toffee, delivering a smooth, refined finish that is both balanced and inviting.
Local businesses, including members of the Historic Downtown Lenoir City Merchants Association, will join the festivities, showcasing their vocations and wares in celebration of the city’s vibrant small-business community.
Created with the whole family in mind, Snail Darter Fest will include a dedicated “Kids Park” area complete with a bouncy house. Walk-ups are welcome throughout the day on a first-come, first-served basis, and friendly, leashed dogs are invited to join the festivities.
“We are deeply honored and excited to become part of the Lenoir City community,” said Christian Spears, Founder and President of Tennessee Brew Works. “We are very grateful for the support and partnerships extended to us. We look forward to a great festival celebrating the history of the famed Snail Darter together.”
Snail Darter Fest will take place rain or shine on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is free, with ample seating available. Parking is plentiful; however, guests are encouraged to use ride-share services when possible.
