Nashville Buzzes With Weekend of Music, Flea Markets, and Celebrations

Nashville is alive with energy this weekend and there is no shortage of events guaranteed to thrill, entertain, and help listeners make the most of the summer in Music City.

Today and through Sunday, the iconic Ryman Auditorium is hosting a double bill with Blackberry Smoke and Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs—the kind of Southern rock and roots party the Ryman was built for. Expect a packed house, top-shelf drinks at the Ford Lounge, and the rare chance to savor those legendary Ryman acoustics up close, according to the Ryman’s own announcements.

The Nashville Flea Market at The Fairgrounds is back all weekend. Running from Friday through Sunday, it is a local tradition with hundreds of vendors offering everything from antiques and collectibles to quirky crafts and food trucks. Whether you’re hunting for a vintage record, a unique home good, or just want to people-watch with a funnel cake, it’s a quintessential local experience according to the Fairgrounds Nashville.

Back-to-school energy is in the air at Plaza Mariachi on Nolensville Pike this afternoon, with community fun beginning at 1 p.m. On Sunday, Plaza Mariachi turns it up with the Jaripeo Baile—an authentic Mexican rodeo dance with music, bull riding, and plenty of fiesta spirit starting at 4 p.m., followed by a free evening concert with Los Admirables Del Norte and Karen Valencia from 6:30 p.m. to midnight, based on the venue’s official calendar.

For theater lovers and Dolly devotees, The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts is the only place to be. All weekend, and every weekend through August 17, Nashville is the first to experience Dolly: An Original Musical. This world premiere is loaded with new songs from Dolly Parton herself, alongside the classics, and is directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, according to Nashville Theatre.

Assembly Food Hall is getting a little wild this Saturday with Bingo Loco, a music-fueled, interactive game night with prizes, party anthems, and outlandish surprises, as listed by NashvilleGo.

If dancing is your ticket, don’t miss free Salsa Night at Plaza Mariachi on Thursday July thirty-first. Learn some moves from David Alexis and DJ Julian, then dance past midnight on a massive floor surrounded by vibrant lights and happy feet, straight from Plaza Mariachi’s event page.

For those with wedding bells in their future, Diamond Cellar is hosting a two-day Wedding Weekend event, with exclusive deals and wedding experts on hand to help craft the perfect celebration, as reported by StyleBlueprint.
