STEP RIGHT UP! Fatherland Fest returns with Nashville’s queerest carnival, an evening of curious attractions, dazzling oddities and absolutely unnecessary amounts of showmanship. Feast your eyes on drag, live music, comedy, carnival games, rides, sideshow spectacles and more queer entertainment than you can shake a corndog at.

And beneath all the spectacle is a damn good reason to show up: Fatherland Fest is an annual fundraiser benefiting Music City PrEP Clinic.
