A unique bonfire experience · North Nashville · est. 2021

BLK.FIER

The bonfire is back.

Two fields, two nights, one idea: Black Nashville, a raging fire, good food, better music, and a crowd that actually shows up. We did it in 2021. We did it bigger in 2022. Spring 2027 is next.

Spring 2027 · the date and tickets go to the list first

The list

The list hears first. It always has.

In 2021 the invite went out by text and the field hit capacity. In 2022 the list got the presale. Spring 2027 works the same way: the date, the early-bird window and the Campfire Packages reach the list before anyone else.

Email is the list. Texts are optional, a few a season, and you can stop them any time.

I’m here for

What it is

Not a club. Not a bar. A field, a fire, and the whole vibe.

BLK.FIER started in the fall of 2021 as a private bonfire on land in North Nashville. The invite came by text, a QR code got you through the gate, and the crowd was capped on purpose. Hay-bale seating, tents with color-changing light, live art, a DJ who could carry the night, food trucks in the field, a VIP tent with real food, and a fire you could feel from the parking lot.

Every BLK.FIER is a little different. Every one has the fire.

“Has great potential to be the type of event that people travel to experience.”

Vendors and food trucks

Feed the field.

In 2022 six trucks and vendors worked the field and a survey’s worth of people said the food was the night. The deal is simple: a flat fee for the spot, and you keep every dollar you sell. The one rule, learned in 2021: come ready for three hundred people, not thirty.

Food truck

$300

4 spots

  • A truck spot in the field, facing the crowd
  • Keep 100% of your sales
  • Listed on this site and in the day-of posts and texts
  • 2 staff wristbands
  • Bring your own power; we point you at the water

Vendor booth

$200

6 spots

  • A 10 by 10 space in the field

Let’s talk

Lounge and bar operators work on a split, not a flat fee. Say what you do and we’ll come back with numbers.

Apply for a spot

Applications open with the date. Apply now and you hear first, with the fee locked at the prices above.

Sponsors

Own a zone, not a logo wall.

One night, one field, a few hundred people who chose to be there. A sponsor gets the fire, the VIP tent, the s’mores station, or the hookah lounge, with the name on it and the crowd in it. Everything is agreed in conversation, never self-serve.

FAQ

Questions people text us.

What is BLK.FIER?

A unique bonfire experience in North Nashville: a private field, a big fire, a DJ, live performances, food trucks, a bar, s’mores, hookah, and a VIP tent. It started in October 2021 and came back in April 2022. Spring 2027 is the third.

When is it?

Spring 2027. The exact date and the ticket launch go to the list first. Add yourself at the top of the page.

Where is it?

On private land in North Nashville, the same kind of field as the first two. The address goes out with your ticket, not on the internet.

How do tickets work?

General admission, VIP, and group Campfire Packages (your own pit, wood and s’mores kits for up to six). Your ticket is a QR code on your phone; it gets scanned at the gate. Early-bird pricing goes to the list, then everyone.

What should I bring?

A blanket or a low chair, layers for after dark, and cash for the food trucks and vendors. Seating is hay bales and the ground. It is a field at night, so wear shoes you can walk in.

Can I vend or bring my food truck?

Yes. A flat fee for the spot, and you keep your sales. The packages and the application are in the Vendors section.

How do I sponsor?

Pick a zone in the Sponsors section and send the form, or email us. We’ll talk it through and put it in writing. Nothing is self-serve.

Who is behind it?

BLK.FIER is a Favrs concept, produced by Favrs since 2021. BLK.FIER 2 was presented with Lovenoise. Photos by Adrian E. Morales, video by David (@davidhtk). Spring 2027 partners are announced with the date.
