Where Is Two Rivers Mansion?
Two Rivers Mansion: 3130 McGavock Pike, Nashville, TN 37214 — in the Donelson neighborhood, about 15 minutes east of downtown Nashville near the airport corridor.
Two Rivers Mansion is a historic antebellum estate with extensive grounds — one of the better festival settings in Nashville. The 2026 event moved here from previous locations and the organizers specifically note tons of shade and ample parking at the new venue.
Parking at Touch of Brews
Two Rivers Mansion has on-site parking — a significant upgrade from the festival’s previous locations. Arrive early to get the closest spots. The organizers specifically called out ample parking as a feature of the new venue.
If you’re driving, designate a driver — beer is the point of the festival and parking is plentiful. If you’re ridesharing both ways, budget $25–$40 round trip from downtown Nashville.
Touch of Brews Tips
- Arrive early for the best lawn spots. The organizers specifically note early arrivals get the shadiest positions — important for a full September day outside.
- Bring a blanket. The grounds are lawn-based — a blanket is more comfortable than standing all day.
- Sunscreen is non-negotiable. September in Nashville is still summer-warm and you’re outside all day.
- Budget for beer separately. Admission doesn’t include pours — plan your beer budget as a separate line item.
- The festival runs rain or shine. Check the weather but plan to attend regardless.
