Summer in Music City

When the weather heats up, so does the entertainment in Music City. Nashville kicks off its summer vacation with CMA Music Festival, four full days of country music stars performing their hits on stages throughout downtown Nashville. The party continues on July 4th as the city celebrates Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing with star-studded performances and a spectacular fireworks display accompanied by the GRAMMY award-winning Nashville Symphony.

There are also plenty of activities to entertain the whole family. Hit the water slides at Nashville Shores, check out the changing exhibits at Cheekwood’s 55-acre property, wander through the human body at the Adventure Science Center, stroll through the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, or cheer on the Nashville Sounds baseball team at Greer Stadium just to name a few.

Of course, music is the main act every season in Nashville. Enjoy a concert under the stars at the Woods at Fontanel concert series, or head to the Grand Ole Opry, Bluebird Cafe or any of the live music venues around town for a unique Nashville experience.

There's no better place to soak up the summer than in Music City!
