Adventure Awaits

The Tennessee Fly Fishing Festival is the only event of its kind in the country and attracts fly anglers from across the United States and the South in particular. Join us Friday January 15 and Saturday January 16, 2027, from 9AM-6PM at the Farm Expo Center located at 945 E Baddour Pkwy, Lebanon, TN 37087. Nowhere else can anglers learn about the quiet sport in such a beginner-friendly environment. Our unique event combines whiskey with everything you ever wanted to know about fly fishing but were afraid to ask. You might also want to check out our Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Tennessee Fly Fishing & Whiskey Festival is to introduce as many people to the sport of fly fishing as possible, and to raise the level of awareness to the many pressing conservation issues facing Tennessee. We do this believing that people, who are connected to the outdoors in their recreational activities, are more inclined to protect the natural resources they enjoy. Good clean water is crucial to our native fish species, and it also helps with making good whiskey!

OUR MISSION

Meet Our Exhibitors

Held entirely indoors, the Tennessee Fly & Whiskey Festival is fairly immune to the weather. Exhibitors such as fly shops, guides, non-profit organizations, outfitters, and lodges as well as manufactures are all on hand. Book a trip, cast a custom fly rod, or learn a new fly-tying skill at your own pace. Did we mention the whiskey?
