PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
Fall’s best destinations are waiting
Mountain air, city lights or somewhere new? There's still time to make your fall plans take flight with Alaska Airlines. With hundreds of destinations, you can celebrate autumn to the fullest. See the fall foliage in Boston, sip cider in Seattle, or swap your flannel for a swimsuit and head to Hawai‘i.
With nonstop routes to over 100 cities across North America and beyond, getting to your fall destination is easier than ever. Whether you're chasing changing leaves or year-round sunshine, Alaska’s growing network means more ways to reach where autumn is calling.
Fares at great prices, so it's easier than ever to say ‘yes’ to a getaway before the season's gone.
Subject to availability. Terms and conditions apply.
Iron Fork
THURSDAY
Four of Nashville’s best chefs go head to head in a live cooking competition with a secret ingredient on Thursday from 6 to 9 PM at Harken Hall in Madison. Your ticket includes unlimited bites from 18+ local restaurants, an open bar, wine from 15+ brands, and a live chef’s plate auction; the winner takes home the Golden Fork and a spot at the 2027 World Food Championships. It’s 21+, and proceeds support local nonprofits, including Celebrate Nashville.
It’s basically an Iron Chef taping where you get to eat everything!
Drive-In Movie on the Point
THURSDAY
Eastpoint is turning Nissan Stadium Lot R into a drive-in theater on Thursday from 7 to 9 PM, with Jumanji (PG) on the big screen. Load up the car, bring snacks, and settle in for some old-school movie night fun with friends and family.
Registration is required, so reserve your spot ahead of time!
Christmas Village
FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY
One of Nashville’s oldest and most beloved charitable traditions fills The Fairgrounds with 250+ merchants selling toys, jewelry, gourmet foods, pottery, clothing, collectibles, and gifts for the person who has everything. It runs Friday, November 13, from 9 AM to 9 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from noon to 6 PM, and Santa will be there too.
If you want to cross half your holiday list off in one trip, this is the place to do it!
Harvest Party
SATURDAY
Birdie’s is throwing a harvest wine tasting across the Lost & Found grounds on Saturday from 4 to 6 PM. They’re pouring 20+ wines, including the “killer B’s” (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Brunello, Barolo, and Barbaresco), South American picks from the Brazos portfolio, and bubbles from Grower Champagne to Prosecco. Tickets are $50 per person, 21+, and Woodland Wine Merchant will be on site taking pre-orders for pickup the following week.
Think of it as holiday wine reconnaissance, with the bonus of getting to taste before you buy!
Fall Festival Market
SUNDAY
Assembly Food Hall hosts a free fall market on the third-floor Date Night Deck on Sunday, November 15, from 11 AM to 4 PM. More than 20 local vendors will be there with permanent jewelry, handmade goods, seasonal items, and festive photo spots, with 20+ eateries and bars just downstairs when you get hungry. It’s open to all ages, and you can RSVP for free on the Assembly Food Hall site.
A little shopping, a little snacking, and zero reason to leave before you have to!
