Whether you live in Nashville or are visiting Music City over the next few days, we’ve curated a list of events to keep you busy while you’re making the most of your weekend. As always in Nashville, we’ve got plenty of upcoming concerts for music fans to take in. If you’re looking for other ideas though, there’s still tons of options in town for you as well.
There’s an annual songwriters festival going on throughout the city this week. We’ve got multiple springtime events including farmer’s and flea markets available to attend. There’s an event for whiskey lovers, an event for foodies led by a Top Chef champion, and much more this weekend in Music City.
