May
Memorial Day weekend, visit one of the city’s many war memorials and historic sites, such as Fort Negley or the State Capitol. After you’ve gotten your fill of history, kick back at a Blues festival in Centennial Park and let the good times roll. Our Travel Hacker Guide says median airfare in May is $350, the lowest of the summer months, so book now.
June
It’s a month of music from the CMA Music Festival, drawing country music’s most famous, to Bonnaroo, featuring a down-in-the-dirt style setting with eclectic performances. Plus, our #1 trending Nashville hotel, Omni Nashville Hotel, is just minutes from the Country Music Hall of Fame so you won’t skip a beat.
July
Dazzling fireworks displays take over downtown during the 4th of July. Later in the month, get hoppy at the 14th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival with fellow beer enthusiasts. There’s more to this great state than just whiskey.
August
Plan a low key summer’s end with a stroll through Shelby Bottom Park or shop for bargains at Nashville Flea Market. If those don’t interest you, catch the world’s longest running live radio program, Grand Ole Opry.
