we’re already halfway through september, but trust me!!! the fun is far from over. from huge concerts to cozy fall markets (and even a pool party just for pups 🐶), there’s plenty left on the calendar these next two weeks.

here’s your guide to what’s still happening around town:

broadway is about to be wild with tootsie’s birthday bash on sept 14 — think jelly roll, kid rock, montgomery gentry + more all playing free sets outside.

later this month, nelly + ja rule bring hip-hop nostalgia to ascend (sept 16), lorde takes over the pinnacle for two nights (sept 20–21), and shaboozey closes out september at the pinnacle on the 29th.

fall energy is kicking in. the zoo sunset safari returns sept 19 with cocktails + animal encounters under the stars. the same night, bavarian bierhaus kicks off oktoberfest season — beer tents, pretzels, oompah bands, the works.

sept 21 brings the goddess craft market, a women-led makers market full of local vendors. then the last weekend of september is absolutely stacked: the american artisan festival + greek festival (sept 26–28), pilgrimage fest with john mayer + kings of leon (sept 27–28), and the fall ball y’all fest at farmers market (sept 27).

dog parents, clear your calendars. sept 27 is basically dog day in nashville.

you’ve got the pooch pool party at nashville shores, dachtoberfest at new heights brewing, and pins & paws at pins mechanical co. — all happening the same day. pups swimming, dachshunds racing, bowling + beer… it’s a lot, in the best way.

coffee fans, don’t miss the latte art throwdown sept 18 at crema (raffle + tacos included). sept 21 is cocorico’s big autumn party with brunch vibes + vendors, and on sept 27, craft beer lovers can hit nashville brew fest at first horizon park.

the titans are busy this month - rams (sept 14) and colts (sept 21) both come to nissan.

soccer fans, the us open cup semifinal brings nashville sc vs philadelphia union to geodis on sept 16, followed by houston dynamo on sept 27. preds preseason action kicks off sept 21 + 23 at bridgestone.

broadway revival the wiz lands at tpac sept 23–28. it’s only here for one week — soulful music, magical sets, and a dose of nostalgia.

true-crime junkies, this one’s for you - dateline live hits the pinnacle sept 28. the creators of the hit tv show bring their signature storytelling to the stage for one night only.
