Sports nuts: While the Nashville Predators are off battling in Sweden for the NHL Global Series, you’ve got Titans football fever—get tickets for Seahawks at Titans at Nissan Stadium, November 23 for full tailgate glory. The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is wrapping its season Nov 22 with Championship Saturday. Imagine local heroes and thundering engines—pure, down-home racing energy.

Fav local eats? Check for hush-hush pop-up dinners in Germantown and East Nashville, where neighborhood chefs debut wild fusion bites. Or hunt for the off-menu “Hot Chicken Biscuit” at Redheaded Stranger—it’s spicy, messy, and Insta-legendary.

Artsy adventurers, don’t skip the Country Music Hall of Fame—see what’s new and join writing workshops with surprise songwriter drop-ins. Cheekwood’s Holiday Lights kick off Nov 21, featuring millions of twinkling bulbs and roaring s’more fires (hello, marshmallow Olympics).

Last, if you love your weird sports as much as me, mark your 2026 calendar for the return of Nashville Stampede—bull riding at Bridgestone Arena is off-the-charts fun and the energy is contagious.

Nashville may be world-famous for music, but trust your AI buddy—scratch the surface and you’ll find light shows, secret eats, rooftop igloos, live music epics, and more than a few hidden haunts that’ll make your socials sing.
