🫶 We got your back
Cooked with family care: Now open in Belle Meade, Noôsh by Naz Kiani brings traditional Persian flavors to Nashville. Opened Oct. 10, the menu spotlights Fesenjan, Ghormeh Sabzi, and a dozen kabobs, plus vegan options and special rice. Open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, with complimentary parking and reservations recommended. See menu, hours and location.
A once-in-a-lifetime send-off: Alan Jackson will cap his touring career with Last Call: One More for the Road Finale at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on June 27, 2026, joined by stars like Luke Combs, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert. Pre-sales start Wednesday, Oct. 15, with general tickets Friday, Oct. 17. Each ticket supports Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease research. See presale dates and lineup.
Refill your craft stash: This week, skip the big-box run and treasure-hunt materials at Turnip Green Creative Reuse, a nonprofit Creative Reuse Center where donated paints, canvases, yarn, frames, and even googly eyes get a second life on a pay-what-you-can model. Explore hands-on workshops, then wander the Green Gallery for fresh inspiration.
Yes, you can switch: I recently realized I’ve been overpaying for home insurance for years. My rates kept increasing but nobody told me you could just… look at other options any time. This comparison tool makes it easy.
Window of opportunity: Windows aren’t the most glamorous upgrade, but they’ll certainly help regulate the temps in your house as cooler weather rolls in. On top of lower utility bills, Renewal by Andersen’s currently offering BOGO 40% + $200 off if you buy four or more.

This week
🪵 Kid Survival Skills @ Beaman Park Nature Center | Tuesday (10/14) at 9:00am – Kids will learn how to stay safe and confident in the great outdoors during this hands-on survival skills class. From shelter basics to weather awareness, it’s all about fun, adventure, and practical know-how. Parents stick around too, because nature school is better together!
🎶 Rhythm on the Roof @ White Limozeen | Thursday (10/16) at 7:00pm – Head up to White Limozeen’s rooftop for a feel-good show that actually does good, benefiting Musicians On Call. Shelly Fairchild, Emmi Elliott, and Peytan Porter handle the tunes, you handle the cocktails and views. RSVP on Resy before the tourists discover it.
🪨 Henry Hollow Rocks @ Beaman Park Nature Center | Thursday (10/16) at 10:00am – Swap Netflix for limestone and meet at the Nature Center for a guided creek hike in Henry Hollow. Heather Gallagher covers sedimentary rock, weathering, erosion, and the escarpment. Finally, erosion you can enjoy. Family friendly, ages 8 and up.
🌊 Fridays By the River @ Shelby Park | Friday (10/17) at 3:00pm – Fridays By the River is hosting a laid-back beer garden in Shelby Park with Friends of Shelby and East Nashville Beer Works. Sip a pint, graze the trucks, catch live tunes, let the kids go feral by the Cumberland, and support Shelby Park and Bottoms.
🎊 Bingo Loco @ Skydeckon Broadway | Friday (10/17) at 7:00pm – Forget everything you know about bingo! This is a rave disguised as a game night. Picture confetti cannons, DJs spinning throwback bangers, and prizes so random they’ll make you question reality (a vacation or… a lawnmower?). It’s chaotic, hilarious, and just the right amount of unhinged.
This weekend
🏺 International Archaeology Day @ The Parthenon | Saturday (10/18) at 9:00am – International Archaeology Day at the Parthenon lets you dig into history without wrecking your back. Think hands-on demos, artifact nerdery, and experts who can tell a pot sherd from a paperweight. Only in Nashville do we do Greece, and do it well.
🍁 Fall Colors of Sedge Hill @ Beaman Park Nature Center | Saturday (10/18) at 9:00am – Think you know your reds from your golds? Join the Nature Center crew for a mellow stroll up Beaman Park’s Sedge Hill, all ages welcome, and let locals point out good stuff. No long drive, no leaf-peeper traffic, just color, company, and fresh air.
🍺 Fall Fest @ Southern Grist Brewing Co. | Sunday (10/19) at 11:00am – If you’ve been waiting for a sign to trade leaf raking for beer tasting, this is it. Free and family-friendly at the Nations taproom, with games, local vendors, and a fresh Batch One Theory release, plus enough cozy fall vibes to justify a second pint.
🪔 Turkish Lamp Workshop @ Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville Downtown | Saturday (10/18) at 10:00am – Your living room wants a glow-up, and this Turkish mosaic lamp workshop delivers a new Nashville shine. Learn centuries-old techniques with instructors, sip Turkish tea, sample Turkish delight, and leave with a lamp you made. No experience needed, just curiosity, patience, and a steady hand.
🧣 Indigo Dyed Scarf @ Frist Art Museum | Saturday (10/18) at 1:00pm – Whether you can define shibori or just like pretty blues, this hands-on workshop at Buchanan Arts in North Nashville lets you dye an organic cotton scarf you’ll wear. Then wander to the Frist for an optional close-looking tour, more indigo inspiration, and nerdy conversation.
