Music City Food & Wine Festival Is Back For a Fourth Year

The Music City Food + Wine Festival is returning for a fourth year later this summer, and the majority of the lineup of local and guest chefs, along with events, was announced today. Taking place Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18, tickets went on sale earlier this morning, with options including all-inclusive, Harvest Night and day time tickets.

Returning events this year include the Chef Showcase, featuring over 40 local chefs on Saturday and Sunday; Saturday night's Harvest Night event spotlighting guest chefs and live musical performances from Kings of Leon and friends; and Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint and Friends, where pitmaster Pat Martin sets up a live fire playground on site and invites his friends to cook with him.
