Nashville Pride Deadlift Party 2026

About Nashville Pride Deadlift Party 2026

The Nashville Pride Deadlift Party 2026 brings a body-positive, all-levels strength session to Crazy Gnome Brewery on Saturday, June 20, from 9 a.m. to noon. It is one of the most welcoming, genuinely fun corners of Nashville Pride, where lifters of every experience level work up to a max deadlift in a brewery taproom rather than a hardcore competition floor. Expect cheering, encouragement, and zero pressure to be the strongest person in the room. The vibe is community first, personal records second. You will find Crazy Gnome at 501 Hagan St in Wedgewood-Houston, the artsy, walkable pocket just south of downtown that has become one of the city's best neighborhoods for breweries and creative space. Getting there is easiest by rideshare, since event-day parking around WeHo fills up fast and street spots are tight. WeGo buses serve the area if you would rather skip driving, and the neighborhood is compact enough to wander on foot once you arrive. Downtown is only a few minutes away, so it pairs well with the rest of your Pride weekend plans. This is an 18+ event, and it typically runs around $60 to lift or $5 to spectate, with proceeds usually benefiting Trans Aid Nashville and other local community organizations. Check the official page for the exact pricing and beneficiary details before you go. One local tip, come early to claim a warm-up spot and grab a Crazy Gnome pour for after your last lift. Cheering on a stranger's PR with a cold beer in hand is the whole point.
