Nashville is known for being Music City, and summertime here starts with the volume knob clocked to 10.
The first week in June, you’re grabbing peaches from the Peach Truck for a snack on the way to CMA Fest. Maybe the next weekend, you catch Dolly Parton’s Threads at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, or check out her exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Then there are art crawls, festivals, farmers’ markets, dozens of summer concerts, the pickleball craze, or swimming pools. Maybe you just want to decide your plans in the moment? Regardless, Nashville has enough things to do to keep you busy all summer long. Here are many of our favorite ways to spend the long, hot summer days and nights.
