Queerfest creates spaces for the queer community and provides opportunities for LGBTQ+ identifying artists and bands. We book monthly shows and an annual festival for the LGBTQ+ community to gather, celebrate, and connect. Queerfest is presented by Pineworks Creative, a live entertainment and event planning organization based in Nashville, TN.

In 2022 Queerfest was named "Best New Music Festival" by The Nashville Scene.
