Thinking of spending part of your summer in the South? Several festivals and annual events are planned in Nashville, Tennessee to enjoy. With multiple options for Independence Day and Labor Day weekend, you’ll find outdoor fun in the Music City during summer holidays. And be sure to add some classic Nashville hot chicken to your summer to-do list!
It may be hot outside, with average temperatures ranging from high 60s to up to 90 degrees, but you’ll stay cool if you travel with Mint Julep! New Tennessee Whiskey Adventures are available leaving from downtown Nashville five days a week.
