Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire at Bridgestone Arena
Nashville SC v Atlanta United FC with Post-Match Fireworks at GEODIS Park
The Nashville 100 at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville
Hip Donelson Farmers Market
Let’s get into it.
Our friends at Flavor Walk Nashville want to show you the city one bite at a time: flavorwalknashville.com
Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
The NTT INDYCAR Series roars back to Nashville Superspeedway for the full weekend of July 18-19, and this year it's a triple threat: open-wheel racing at full speed, a World Cup watch party at trackside "The Pub" in partnership with FOX Sports, and a Concert Showcase headlined by deadmau5, all included with your race ticket. It's genuinely one of the most stacked weekends Nashville puts on all summer, and Lebanon is worth the drive.
Indycar speeds, global soccer, and an electronic music superstar.. only in Nashville does this make complete sense!
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire at Bridgestone Arena
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
Mega Wrex, Bone Shaker, Skelesaurus, Bigfoot, and the brand-new Rhinomite making its live debut are all coming to Bridgestone Arena this weekend: Saturday matinee at 11:30 AM, Saturday evening at 6:30 PM, and Sunday at 1:30 PM, with Pre-Show Party access starting two hours before each show. Special kids pricing is available, and VIP packages include backstage access, a driver meet-and-greet, and a merch bundle.
If you've got kids in your life who like loud things, this weekend just planned itself!
PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
Nashville SC v Atlanta United FC with Post-Match Fireworks at GEODIS Park
FRIDAY
Nashville SC kicks off the July 16-19 weekend on Friday the 17th with a 7 PM home match against Atlanta United at GEODIS Park, and they're capping the night with a post-match fireworks show over the stadium. It's a great excuse to get to GEODIS if you haven't been yet this season, and Friday night soccer with fireworks is a hard combo to beat.
Fireworks afterward, win or lose, you leave happy!
The Nashville 100 at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville
FRIDAY
Brooklyn Bowl Nashville hosts The Nashville 100 on Friday, July 17, doors at 5 PM, show at 5:30, a Foster Entertainment production that's all ages and promises to be one of those nights where the venue does the talking. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, and if you've never been to Brooklyn Bowl, the food and the bowling lanes are as much a reason to show up as the show.
A great excuse to finally stop walking past Brooklyn Bowl and actually go inside!
Hip Donelson Farmers Market
FRIDAY
Nashville Scene readers voted it the #3 farmers market in the city, and the Hip Donelson Farmers Market earns it every Friday from 4–7 PM with local produce, Tennessee vendors, and a neighborhood vibe that feels nothing like the tourist-facing markets closer to downtown. Free to attend, easy to park, and the kind of Friday afternoon reset that makes the rest of the weekend better.
East Nashville gets all the farmers market hype, but Donelson's been doing it quietly and correctly for years!
