PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
Your Backyard, All Four Seasons

Most backyards get about 90 good days a year. Yours could get 365.
Think about the moments you keep postponing "until summer": the birthday dinner outside, the Sunday morning coffee, the late-night talks with friends. A Hansø pergola stops the waiting.
Adjustable louvers let you chase the sun or shut out the rain. The structure is built from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum and engineered for up to 167 mph winds and up to 65 PSF snow load, so it's still standing strong when the weather isn't.
Early Bird Offers LAST CHANCE: save up to 40% on pergolas, plus a $1,000 installation voucher*, a Free Hansø ProCheck Care™ 10-Year Plan worth $950, and some FREE accessories to keep fall and winter evenings cozy.
Most pergolas are just for summer. Yours is for every season.
Three College Hoops Games Thursday
THURSDAY
Nashville’s college basketball season tips off at home Thursday, November 5, with three schools playing in town. No. 24 Vanderbilt hosts Wake Forest at 5 PM, Belmont takes on Centre at 6:30 PM, and Tennessee State opens its home schedule against East-West at 7 PM. Vandy and Belmont both won their openers Monday, so the Commodores and Bruins are home for round two while the Tigers look for their first win.
You could technically watch all three tip off in one night if you’re feeling ambitious and have a good traffic plan!
Harry Potter in Concert
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY
The Nashville Symphony plays the full score live while the movie runs on the big screen, with Justin Freer conducting. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2 PM. Come in your best wizarding attire and stop by the lobby costume showcase for a chance to win tickets to Elf in Concert.
If you’ve ever wanted to hear the Knight Bus scene with a live orchestra, this is your moment!
Red Bull Jukebox
SATURDAY
Max McNown headlines this one-night-only show on Saturday with Kameron Marlowe and Cassidy Daniels also on the bill. Doors are at 7 PM, and the show starts at 8. The fans run the night, voting on the setlist, how songs get reimagined, and the surprise moments, with Whiskey Jam’s Ward Guenther hosting. It’s 18 and over.
It’s the rare concert where your vote might actually decide the encore!
Green Door Gourmet Holiday Pop-up Market
SATURDAY
The Grand Barn at Green Door Gourmet fills up with local makers, unique gifts, and food trucks on Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM. Admission and parking are both free, and all ages are welcome. It’s a farm setting just minutes from downtown, which makes it a very easy way to start the holiday shopping.
Get your gift list done before December hits and call it a win!
Richland Park Farmer’s Market
SATURDAY
Nashville’s favorite year-round farmers market is back every Saturday from 9 AM to noon at 4711 Charlotte Avenue, rain or shine. You’ll find 80+ vendors selling pasture-raised meats, farmstead cheese, fresh vegetables, sourdough, baked goods, and international food. Parking is free on site.
Show up hungry, leave with too much bread, and pretend it was part of the plan!
