Planning
an Eventful Stay
By Cindy Sanders

With so many dining, entertainment and sightseeing options, every Nashville
vacation is eventful. When you factor in festivals, concerts and celebrations,
your itinerary can be event-filled, too. No matter when you visit,
there is always something special going on in Music City.

12 | Nashville Visitors Guide

Ongoing Events

In Nashville, it starts with a song and a
stage. And perhaps the most famous stage is
the one at the Grand Ole Opry (opry.com).
With a roster of country music royalty, the
show runs every weekend, with additional
weekday performances. From November
to January, the Opry originates from its
former home at the Ryman Auditorium
(ryman.com), which also plays host to
concerts from all genres throughout the year.
For performance listings at 160-plus venues
around town, download the free Nashville
Live Music App (visitmusiccity.com/
nashvillemusicapp) and never miss a beat.
Performing and visual arts also take
center stage throughout the year. First

com/play) showcase multiple artists at
galleries along 5th Avenue of the Arts.
OZ Arts Nashville (oznashville.com)
is a contemporary arts center located in a
newly renovated former cigar warehouse.

the Antiques & Garden Show (Jan. 30-Feb. 1)
showcases exquisite antique and horticulture
vendors, garden exhibits, and expert lecturers
to get you ready for spring. And throughout
February, multiple events are held in
conjunction with Black History Month.
Despite Nashville’s mild climate, you are
sure to find some “icing” inside Bridgestone
Arena as the Nashville Predators
(predators.nhl.com) face off against the best
in the NHL in the annual run for the Stanley
Cup. The regular season extends through
April with playoff action to follow.

Spring

March arrives in a flurry and leaves
on a high note. The madness begins
with the 2015 SEC Men’s Basketball
Tournament (March 11-15) at Bridgestone
Arena. The month also includes the popular
Southern Women’s Show and 23rd Annual
Tin Pan South, which brings scores of
songwriters together to share their craft and
the stories behind the songs.
From marathons and music to designers
and directors, the four weeks of the fourth
month are so action-packed it’s known as
Awesome April. Kick off the month with
Nashville Fashion Week, featuring local,
regional and national designers at runway
shows around town. In its 46th year, the
acclaimed Nashville Film Festival turns
Music City into Movie City, and Vanderbilt’s
annual Rites of Spring features a weekend
of music on Alumni Lawn.
Cheer on 35,000 athletes running to the
rhythm of live music at each mile marker
during the St. Jude Country Music
Marathon & ½ Marathon. April brings
lots of laughs at the Wild West Comedy
Festival, and winds down at the Main Street
Festival in historic downtown Franklin with
more than 200 artisans, three entertainment
stages and two carnivals. Of special note this
April, the AAA Nashville Sounds’ new
downtown Sulphur Dell Ballpark is slated
to make its debut in time for opening day!
Top to bottom: Hunter Hayes performs at the CMA
Music Festival. Nashville Fashion Week showcases the
latest styles. The popular Predators take to the ice at
Bridgestone Arena. Opposite, from top: The First
Saturday Art Crawl is a chance to see an interesting
assortment of artwork. Fireworks light up the sky at the

big crowds during the fall football season.

The fun continues into May with the
44th Annual Tennessee Craft and the 74th
running of the Iroquois Steeplechase.

Summer

June is all about the music, and the month
kicks off with two star-studded celebrations.
The CMA Music Festival takes over
downtown Nashville and LP Field for four days
of nonstop concerts and events with country’s
hottest artists, followed by Bonnaroo,
featuring top acts from all genres just a
short drive down the road (shuttle packages
available from Nashville). Bluegrass Nights
at the Ryman and the free concert series
Nashville Dancin’ at Riverfront Park also
kick off their summer series in June.

The pinnacle of summer is celebrated
with the Music City July 4th: “Let
Freedom Sing!” event, a day filled with
family-friendly activities. Free live music
is enjoyed throughout the day, culminating
with the evening headline acts – country’s
newest star Ashley Monroe and Grammy
Award-nominated artist Billy Currington.
Top off the day’s celebration enjoying the
award-winning fireworks display, one of the
longest and largest in the country.
Another annual event is the Nashville
Wine Auction, which raises money for the
fight against cancer during the l’Eté du Vin,
or “A Summer of Wine.”
