| How Is Nashville In October |
The Weather: Sweater Weather with a Side of Sunshine
Imagine this: crisp mornings that make you wanna snuggle up with a cup of joe on the porch, followed by days warm enough for a leisurely stroll through the park. That's pretty much October in Nashville. Highs hover around a pleasant 72°F (22°C), perfect for shedding those summer sundresses and throwing on a light jacket. Evenings get cool, so pack a sweater for those outdoor concerts or spooky haunted house adventures. Don't forget the umbrella though, because Nashville weather can be a bit of a wildcard.
Pro Tip: Pack layers! You might be surprised how quickly you go from feeling like you need sunscreen to wishing you'd grabbed a scarf.

Think pumpkin spice lattes that'll knock your boots off, apple cider donuts that melt in your mouth, and enough barbecue to feed a whole hoedown. Plus, there are festivals galore! From the Tennessee Craft Fair, where you can find unique handmade souvenirs, to Oktoberfest celebrations complete with bratwurst and beer steins the size of your head, Nashville has something for everyone's taste buds.
