Canvas Nash, an LGBTQIA2S+ owned and operated bar and event venue in the heart of East Nashville, is turning up the energy with its Big Gay Brunch, a high-vibe, anything-but-traditional brunch experience featuring live entertainment, a DJ, and $10 Tito’s cocktail specials flowing all day.
More party than sit-down brunch, this playful, art-forward event includes a bottomless boutique charcuterie spread with mini pancake skewers, bites, parfaits, fresh fruit, and more, plus interactive moments like cookie painting, a champagne bong, and a few surprises along the way, so come ready to sip, snack, and celebrate.
