River North Block Party at Oxbow + The Wayward

Oxbow and The Wayward are throwing a free, dog-friendly block party in River North on Saturday, August 1, with live music from Michael Leatherman, food trucks from Retro Sno and Wacamole, local vendors, and exclusive deals from neighborhood spots like Shake Shack, Muse Paintbar, Prickly Pear Coffee Co., and Hoppin', plus 2 free hours of parking and a giveaway with a shot at Titans tickets.

It's a genuine neighborhood block party along the waterfront in one of Nashville's fastest-growing districts, and it costs exactly nothing to show up!
