Listeners looking for fun, entertainment, and uniquely Nashville adventures will find the city buzzing this week and every week with music, art, outdoor exploits, and offbeat experiences.
Kicking off your musical journey, the Ryman Auditorium—revered as the "Mother Church" of country music—features special concerts like Yo La Tengo with Built to Spill, Pickin’ on the Plaza with Wilson and Cross, and the highly anticipated Yeah Yeah Yeahs performances with Imaad Wasif on July 18 and Jack Lawrence on July 19. Ryman Haunted History Tours are also offered, blending live music with a deep dive into the venue’s fascinating past. Over at Ascend Amphitheater, mark your calendar for Kesha and the Scissor Sisters’ "The Tits Out Tour" on July 15, Whiskey Myers on July 19, and Goo Goo Dolls with Dashboard Confessional on July 20. These events guarantee evenings pulsing with chart-toppers and lively crowds. For indie and Americana vibes, catch The Crane Wives at Brooklyn Bowl on July 17 and rock out with New Found Glory on July 14.
Nashville's roots run deep in bluegrass, and there’s no better place to experience it than the Full Moon Pickin’ Party at Percy Warner Park, a decades-old tradition returning July 11. Enjoy family-friendly pickin’ circles, food trucks featuring everything from hot chicken to banh mi, and local brews in a laid-back setting beneath summer stars. Impromptu jam sessions create a magical, communal atmosphere that captures the spirit of Music City.
For something uniquely interactive, try the Summer Plein Air Painting Experience on July 19 at The Parthenon in Centennial Park, where listeners can create art outdoors, inspired by the city’s iconic replica of the ancient Greek landmark. Another creative hands-on adventure is the Terrarium Making Workshop for beginners at Homegrown Brewery on July 13—a blend of craft, greenery, and Nashville’s blossoming DIY culture.
Outdoor enthusiasts can zip through the canopies on the Fontanel Zipline Forest Adventure just fifteen minutes from downtown, or see the city in a novel way with a sightseeing tour by golf cart. For thrill-seekers, the 90-minute Monster Truck Joyride City Tour offers a high-octane view of Nashville. Warner Park Nature Center invites families to swing from grapevines, build shelters, and scramble over logs with a naturalist, inviting kids to get wild in the woods.
Hidden (and delicious) gems dot the city’s food landscape. House of Cards presents Sunday brunch paired with a family-friendly magic show, creating a whimsical meal downtown. For a true taste of Nashville, track down a food truck at local festivals, or seek out the legendary hot chicken at joints both classic and new. If you’re up for an adventure, try a tour of the city’s innovative breweries or pop into Hatch Show Print for a behind-the-scenes look at old-school poster making that has shaped music history’s image for over a century.
Art lovers should not miss a stroll through the galleries along Fifth Avenue of the Arts or an exploration of local murals, each bursting with color and storytelling unique to Nashville. For a slower pace, unwind with a sunset walk or kayak at Shelby Bottoms Greenway, or plant yourself in the shade at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park for sweeping views and Tennessee history in the heart of downtown.
Beyond the headlines, keep an eye out for pop-up events: from storytimes at beloved indie bookstores like Parnassus Books to open-mic nights in cozy venues where you just might discover Nashville’s next big star. Listeners will find the city’s creative pulse extending far beyond Broadway honky-tonks, offering a mix of blockbuster concerts, local traditions, artistic expression, and unexpected thrills.
