Bonus: The first 100 children under 12 years of age will receive a 16" bear from Teddy Bear Mobile Nashville. The freebie is handed out on a first come, first served basis + you can start lining up as soon as 9:45 a.m. Check in at Gate 1 to snag your ticket, then redeem your bear at the organization's tent. Pssst. No worries if you don't make it on time, you can still pay to stuff your own bear later.

The festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Centennial Park’s Musicians Corner Amphitheater, located on the corner of West End and 27th Avenue North. This year, you can also find parking at two HCA Healthcare office lots.
