Bon Appétit Returns To Nashville For An Epic Culinary Crawl Mixing Two Pure Passions -- Music And Food -- On June 4

NEW YORK, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- There is only one place to be in Music City on June 4 and that is on the Bon Appétit Grub Crawl. With 15 hot restaurants, bars and venues, awesome music throughout the event and Bon Appétit's editors, this roving, high energy event returns to a Bon Appétit favorite city.

Grub Crawl, in its fifth year and second time in Nashville, is responsible for evolving the classic festival experience with a crawl that moves out from under the tent and into the restaurants. Join Nashville's famous chefs in the kitchen and friends at the table for a day of great food, drink, music, and entertainment.

"Bon Appétit has been a huge advocate and ambassador for Nashville's exploding culinary scene," said Ken Levitan, board chair of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. "The previous Grub Crawl was an instant hit and sellout. Doing it again and highlighting two of Nashville's dynamic neighborhoods validate Music City as a dining destination."

Tickets go on sale at 2:00pm EDT at bagrubcrawl.com and typically sell out quickly. There are separate tickets for the Day Crawl and Night Crawl. Ticket holders have access to the closing party, and this year there is also a separate ticket for the closing party for purchase. Grub Crawl tickets are $149 each (four stops, plus Closing Party). Closing Party tickets only are $40.

In 2014, the Nashville Grub Crawl featured restaurants downtown and in the Gulch. The event was a sell-out.
