Get ready for an unforgettable evening of music, flavor, and community impact! Brews & Grooves is Waves, Inc.’s signature fundraising event—bringing together live music, craft drinks, and the heart of Williamson County to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Held at the scenic Highwoods Park Place in Cool Springs, this annual celebration features a high-energy concert with Poor Lisa, inspiring performances from Waves participants, and an atmosphere full of connection and purpose.
Enjoy mouthwatering bites from Roscoe’s Barbecue, Smokey Dawggs, and Frios Pops, plus refreshing brews from Curio Brewing Company. Interactive games provided by GamesToGo, a curated auction, and heartfelt moments round out this one-of-a-kind night.
All proceeds support Waves’ operations and programs, including our early learning and adult day programs, serving over 500 children and 57 adults in Middle Tennessee—at no cost to families.
