Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville has announced cookbook author and television host, Ina Garten, as the keynote speaker for the 2024 show, which will take place January 12 through 14.
An in-depth conversation with the Barefoot Contessa herself will kick off the weekend’s esteemed lecture series, featuring educational lectures and panels from internationally renowned designers, gardeners, and tastemakers.
“Ina Garten is an incredibly influential presence in so many households—including my own—through her many cookbooks and TV series,” says 2024 co-chair Susan Weathersby. "So we couldn’t be more excited to announce her presence at the 2024 Show as our keynote speaker.”
Co-chair Caroline Cook adds that this year’s keynote fits well within the show theme, Welcome to Beautiful. The 2024 show will draw inspiration from the Herend Queen Victoria china pattern to translate the theme into the show’s overall design. Along with the lecture series, attendees can also enjoy shopping from 150 antiques, arts, and horticulture vendors, live music and special events, plus three immersive garden showcases presented by world-class landscapers and builders. Additionally, renowned designer, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Bunny Williams will be celebrated as the honorary chair. Tickets for the 2024 show will be on sale in September.
