Fall

Bucket

List

Nothing beats an alfresco meal shared on one of Nashville’s rooftops or patios. Each neighborhood has a unique taste and offers an authentic experience you cannot get anywhere else. Enjoy the cool fall weather and a bite to eat at the many restaurants with outdoor seating.

One of the best things about fall is cozying up in your favorite coffee shop. Whether you prefer a pumpkin spice latte, chai tea, or a jolt of espresso, there is no shortage of cafés in Nashville to choose your seasonal brew. With an abundance of local coffee shops AND a delicious selection of pastries and breakfast options available, you will leave ready to seize the day in Nashville.

As the temperature cools, there is no better time to be outside. To heat things up, Nashville puts up tents, sets out stages, and brings vendors to create the ultimate experience. There are music festivals, craft festivals, food festivals, and so much more to add to your bucket list this fall.

Every autumn, Music City flashes hues of yellow, orange, and red. The leaves change colors, mums are in full bloom, and the vegetables are ready for harvesting. Across Nashville, neighborhoods are filled with local farmers' markets selling fresh produce, artisanal food, crafts, and more.

Halloween in Nashville is a magical time filled with laughs and screams of joy. If you are looking for a thrill, check out the many haunted houses, Halloween tours, or festive parties perfect for celebrating a spooktacular All Hallows Eve. There are plenty of family fun events to get you in the spirit of things.

We can all agree that fall is a time for sports. Nashville is home to multiple professional teams, and loyal fans travel from near and far to experience the thrill of a game. Whether watching from the sidelines or joining the crowd in a sports bar, you can find an action-packed place in Nashville to tune into your favorite game.

While the weather is crisp and the foliage is nearing its peak, this is the perfect time to check off one of Nashville’s outdoor activities. Enjoy a brisk walk around a scenic lake, set up a picnic in a park, or concert at an outdoor music venue.

Nothing defines the fall season more than a trip to a pumpkin patch. Carve out some time for fall activities like hayrides, pumpkin houses, corn mazes, and more. With thousands of pumpkins in different shapes, sizes, and colors to pick from, you are guaranteed to have a gourd time at a pumpkin patch in Nashville.

Nashville is not just a city for music lovers; it appeals to craft beer drinkers, distillery enthusiasts, and wine connoisseurs, too. It's not a trip to Music City until you warm up with a shot of Tennessee whiskey at a distillery or tap into a local brewery. And let's not forget about Nashville's wineries, where you can enjoy a glass of red or white paired with a view and the sound of live music humming in the background. Make your way through Nashville's fall bucket list, sip by sip.

It is sweater weather in Nashville, and there is so much to fall for this season. Keep warm (and stylish) with a few of your favorite things like sweaters, warm colors, boots, and beanies from a Nashville shop. Find a local treasure when exploring local shops and take a piece of Nashville home with you.

Get cozy at a fire pit while enjoying live music and a glass of wine or roasting a couple of gooey s’mores surrounded by Nashville’s skyline. Each weekend during the cooler seasons, share a ghost story and make a magical memory around a campfire in Music City.

Are you looking for a place to gather the whole family for the Holiday? With dine-in and carry-out options, make your holiday stress-free with an easy dinner accompanied by side dishes and dessert from a local restaurant. Thanksgiving is a time for family, fun, and food, and with plenty of events to choose from, Nashville is the perfect place to celebrate the weekend.
