Nashville hits all the right notes for fun, creativity, and adventure, especially for listeners looking to experience the city this week or find those classic attractions and hidden local favorites. For something truly unique today, Plaza Mariachi on Nolensville Pike will be buzzing. Listeners can head there this Saturday evening for a free dinner show starting at 5 p.m., enjoying live Vikings-themed circus performances and music from Kodigoz. If there’s still energy after dinner, the same venue cranks up the music later with the Bailamos dance party from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. hosted by DJ Wonder, perfect for dancing the night away. The next morning, Plaza Mariachi offers an outdoor flea market—think fresh produce, quirky finds, and local flavor—while that afternoon brings Jaripeo Baile’s high-energy rodeo dance and, for music fans, a free performance by Los Admirables Del Norte and Karen Valencia running from 6:30 p.m. until midnight.

Listeners who want the quintessential Nashville sound should carve out time for a show at Ryman Auditorium—a storied venue known as the “Mother Church of Country Music.” Blackberry Smoke lights up the stage on July 25 and 26, making for a genuine only-in-Nashville experience. While there, listeners can take a daytime backstage tour for a glimpse of music history and even stand on the iconic stage, as the Ryman is open for tours year-round.

Live music is everywhere in Nashville, and Ascend Amphitheater takes it outdoors on the riverfront. Concertgoers can catch top acts like Alabama Shakes this week, with big names like Rob Thomas and Nelly coming soon. If baseball is more your speed, First Horizon Park welcomes listeners for the Nashville Sounds vs. Charlotte Knights game today, followed by Nashville Sounds vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp tomorrow at 6:05 p.m., combining sports with fireworks and family fun.

Those craving a taste of culture and art should check out the Frist Art Museum’s “Venice and the Ottoman Empire” immersive exhibit, which is open throughout the weekend and showcases rare artifacts and shipwreck treasures connecting two ancient worlds. For art mixed with action, listeners might visit the vibrant street murals in the Gulch or bike the Shelby Bottoms Greenway for city skylines and riverside paths.

Foodies will savor Nashville’s legendary hot chicken, with Prince’s and Hattie B’s standing out, or can indulge in global flavors at Plaza Mariachi’s stalls. To try something unexpected, listeners can browse the stalls at the Nashville Farmers’ Market or catch a behind-the-scenes tour of Corsair Distillery where local spirits get their Tennessee twist.

Nashville’s soul is best experienced up close—whether it’s belting along at the Bluebird Cafe, exploring East Nashville’s indie shops and live jazz, two-stepping at the Wildhorse Saloon, kayaking the Cumberland River, or searching the hidden courtyards of Printer’s Alley for a speakeasy. Even longtime locals are still finding new acts and tastes every week in this ever-evolving city.

For listeners in Nashville this week or planning a trip soon, there’s a lineup of music, flavor, and creativity around every corner—from legendary stages and outdoor concerts to one-of-a-kind markets and art shows, with every experience promising a taste of why Nashville is truly Music City.
