| What Events Are Happening In Nashville This Weekend |
The Lowdown on the Must-Sees:
Music Galore, Naturally: Nashville's soul is music, and this weekend's no exception. From legendary honky-tonks on Broadway to swanky rooftop bars with up-and-coming artists, there's a tune for every ear. Pro-Tip: Catch a free show at the Wildhorse Saloon or The Listening Room Cafe for an authentic Nashville experience.
Boot Scootin' Boogie: No Nashville trip is complete without some two-steppin'. Head to a line dancing bar like Billy Bob's Texas or Wildhorse Saloon and put on your best bootscootin' boots (bonus points for sequined chaps!). Word to the Wise: Classes are usually offered before the party gets hoppin', so you can learn some fancy footwork and impress those potential partners.
Beyond the Honky-Tonks: Nashville's got more to offer than just guitars and whiskey (although those are pretty darn good too!). Explore the Frist Art Museum's latest exhibit, catch a show at the Grand Ole Opry, or spend an afternoon picnicking in Centennial Park. Don't Miss: The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a must for any music lover, tracing the history of this iconic genre.
Fueling Up for Fun:
Grub Fit for a King (or Queen): Nashville's got a food scene that's smokin' hot (pun intended). Gotta Try: Hot chicken, Nashville's claim to fame, comes in various spice levels – from "mild" (which is a lie) to "you'll need a fire hose." Other Delights: Don't miss out on Tennessee barbecue, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits, and pecan pie for dessert.
Sippin' on the South's Finest: Nashville's got a craft brewery scene that's bubblin' over with creativity. Wet Your Whistle: Sample local brews at Yazoo Brewing Company or Jackalope Brewing Company, and don't forget to try some Tennessee moonshine (responsibly, of course!).
So You Think You Can Nashville?
How to Talk Like a Local:
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
- "Y'all" – replaces "you all" (and yes, you can use it for singular people too)
- "Fixin' to" – means "about to"
- "Bless your heart" – can be sincere or a sassy way of saying "oh dear"
How to Dress for Nashville:
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
- It's a casual vibe, but put some effort in – think cute boots, jeans, and a fun top.
- For fancier occasions, a sundress or button-down shirt will do the trick.
How to Get Around:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Nashville's got a decent public transportation system, but rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are your best bet.
- If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a scooter (but watch out for those bachelorette parties!).
How to Avoid Tourist Traps:
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
- Skip the overpriced chain restaurants on Broadway and explore the Gulch or The Nations for trendy eats.
- Be wary of street performers offering pictures with "exotic" animals – it's not cool for them.
How to Pace Yourself:
- Nashville's a lively city, but don't overdo it on the first night. You'll be too hungover to enjoy the rest of your trip!
