PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
Every World Cup match is a market.
48 games. 32 countries. One tournament. From the group stage through the final, every outcome is tradeable in real time on Kalshi, a federally regulated exchange and official regional partner of the Argentine National Team.
You're not picking a spread. You buy "Yes" or "No" shares on what you think happens: who wins, who advances, who scores first. Earn returns if you're right. Peer-to-peer. No house. Cash out before the final whistle.
Trade $10, get $10 free to start.
Trade responsibly.
Alan Jackson Concert
SATURDAY
Country music royalty takes the Nissan Stadium stage one last time on Saturday, June 27 at 5:30 PM, with Alan Jackson wrapping his farewell tour alongside a stacked lineup of special guests, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and Riley Green. This is the kind of show Nashville will be talking about for years.
Grab your tickets now, because watching Alan Jackson ride off into the sunset with Luke Combs is not something you want to explain to your future self that you skipped!
Stars, Stripes, and Speed
SATURDAY
The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway fires up for a full night of short-track racing on Saturday, June 27, with grandstands opening at 3 PM and engines roaring at 5 PM. The card is packed with Pro Late Models, Street Stocks, Legends, Bandoleros, and more, with tickets starting at just $12 in advance and kids 11 and under getting in free.
It's loud, it's fast, and it smells like gasoline, which is basically a perfect Saturday!
Waterfest
FRIDAY
The Cumberland River Compact's beloved Waterfest returns to Peay Park on Friday, June 26, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, connecting kids to Nashville's local waterways through waterslides, snow cones, dancing, music, and prizes, all completely FREE.
Bring the kids and skip the sunscreen excuse!
June Writers’ Round
THURSDAY
Thistle and Rye on West End hosts an intimate Writers' Round on Thursday, June 25 at 6:30 PM, featuring 9 to 12 Nashville songwriters trading original songs and the stories behind them across three to four collaborative rounds. Entry is free, but reservations are strongly encouraged since seats go fast.
Free live music from the people who write the songs you already love, paired with a great cocktail list, great night!
Water Lantern Festival
SATURDAY
The USA Today-voted #1 festival in the world lands in Nashville on Saturday, June 27 at Centennial Park, where gates open at 5 PM for food trucks, live music, and lawn games before a synchronized lantern launch at 8 PM sends thousands of glowing lights drifting across the water. Tickets start at $32.99 and include your full lantern kit, LED candle, and markers, with a Date Night two-pack and family four-pack available if you want to make a whole thing of it.
This one's a bucket list check for Nashville locals who somehow still haven't been!
