Festival and Events in Nashville
Bluegrass Music Festivals, Country Music Fest and more!
There are quite a few festival and events that go on in Nashville annually. There is something going on almost every week so you are sure to find something that is a lot of fun to do.

JanuaryThere are several
Nashville Events
that are going on during January that are not actually festivals. Be sure to check them out.
FebruaryFebruary doesn't have any festivals. There are not a lot of annual
Nashville events
either. My suggestion is to check out the
Sommet Center
and the
Municipal Auditorium
to see what is going on there. A lot of times they have some really cool events going on.
Do something special for your sweetheart on

dinner theater.
You'll get a live show with a fantastic dinner. Your date will love it.

Donna's CornerIt is amazing just how festival and events there is to see and do in Nashville. I have been working on this site part-time for a bout a year now and feel like I will never run out of stuff to write. Notice that the Months from May through September are missing. I will get to them, just give me some time. Thanks for your patients and enjoy your Nashville vacation.
