Overview The Nashville Rosé Festival is a Saturday-afternoon tasting in East Park, East Nashville, where one ticket buys a glass and samples of every wine, beer and cocktail on the grounds, and the proceeds go to the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition: the festival raised more than $150,000 for the coalition across 2023, 2024 and 2025. The 2026 edition was the seventh. The coalition is a statewide nonprofit founded in 1995 whose Emergency Access Fund pays mortgage, rent and utility bills for Tennesseans in active breast cancer treatment. Rhizome Productions, a Nashville-area production company that owns and runs its own events, produces the festival. On site The 2026 festival ran four hours, 3 to 7 p.m. in mid-May, with ticket scanning from 2. Rosé from around the world pours alongside ready-to-drink cocktails, spirits and local craft beer, and in 2026 the site listed 22 featured brands, from rosé labels such as Hampton Water and AIX to Mijenta tequila and Music City Beer Co. DJs play through the afternoon with live performance art between sets. Food is bought from the trucks, nine of them in 2026, from New Berlin Eats and Hoss' Loaded Burgers to The Pink Truck Ice Cream, and 16 local makers set up stalls, jewelers, a hatter and a perfumer among them. It is strictly 21 and over, with every ID checked at the gate, it runs rain or shine, and pets stay home. Brand presence Six sponsors backed the 2026 festival, and the beverage brands take part by pouring their own product for sampling. Above the pour, a partner can take naming rights to the main stage and be called out by the emcee through the afternoon.
