Fall is officially in the air! This season brings all kinds of fun activities to Nashville and I’m rounding up my absolute favorite. Here are the best ways to spend fall in Music City.
Cheekwood Harvest
At the top of my list is Cheekwood Harvest – the quintessential fall event! This annual event showcases the land’s beautiful fall foliage. There are a plethora of experiences for kids, families, and parents throughout the six weeks. The pumpkin house and village can’t be missed! Get your tickets here.
Firepit Friday at Adventure Park
Cozy up next to a fire at The Adventure Park at Nashville. The Friday night festivities are already underway and, judging by the weather forecast, it’s a perfect time! Find out more information including cost on their website.
Hike at Radnor Lake
Radnor Lake is a beautiful spot any time of year but it’s even more magical in the fall. If you’ve never been to the state park, find out more before your trip.
Various Activities at Opryland
Gaylord Opryland has several fall festivities for the fam! There’s a Hide & Seek Scavenger Hunt, Trick or Treat Expedition, Haunted Hidden Treasure Escape Room and lots more! See the full list of activities right here.
Fall Fun at Lucky Ladd Farms
This is another Music City spot with lots of family fun for the fall! The award-winning pumpkin patch is a must for all Middle Tennessee residents. While you’re there, get lost in the corn maze and don’t forget your caramel apple! Find out more here.

If you want things a little more spooky, get tickets for Nashville Nightmare! They’re already open on the weekends but are open more frequently in October. Check out their schedule and get your tickets (and your fast pass) through their website.

This is Nashville’s only adults-only ghost tour! According to the Ghost City Tours website, this tour is a “true crime ghost tour. We’ll take you to some of the locations of Nashville’s most notorious crimes – and tell the tales of the Ghosts left behind.”
