Snow Day, a CAC Beardsley Community Farm Benefit, will be hosted at The Mill & Mine from 6:00-9:00 PM on Friday, January 30th, 2026. Come and help us celebrate Beardsley Farm! Snow Day will feature live music, a soup contest between some of Knoxville's finest restaurants, a silent auction, and a cash bar.
TICKETS: This year, we have a tiered option for Snow Day tickets. Despite Snow Day being a fundraiser, we want our ticket prices to remain inclusive. It’s not a party without our people. But if you can donate a little extra, it helps us immensely as we get ready to provide another year of food, gardens, and programming in our community. So, to sum up: pay what you can! $35-Community Supporter $45-Classic Supporter $65- Snowflake Supporter Tickets include all-you-can-eat soup! Kids under 8 get in for free! A limited-edition hand screen-printed Snow Day poster by local artists Ashlee Mays and Logan Syzmanowski of the Museum of Infinite Outcomes will be available at Snow Day for $25!
MUSICIANS: Tinca Tinca, High Heat, Niki Giles + More!
SOUP: This year's soup contestants include Potchke, Redbud Kitchen, Central Creamery, The Mill & Mine, Yee-Haw Brewing Co., Tarik's North African, Sokno Sourdough, and more! Come and try delicious vegetarian and vegan soups featuring local ingredients! The winner will receive a beautiful gourd award. Arrive early before the soup runs out. We encourage you to bring your own reusable mug and spoon to cut down on waste!
SILENT AUCTION: Come bid on amazing silent auction items! Over one hundred items from dozens of Knoxville businesses will be represented. The silent auction will run online as well as in person at Snow Day from 6PM-8:30PM.
2026 notes: *We cannot guarantee what percentage of soups will be vegetarian vs. vegan. We let the chefs run with their creativity!
*As Snow Day is an event with a focus on food, we do not require masks. However, masks are welcome.
