Nashville spring events turn up the volume as soon as winter takes a back seat.
From outdoor concerts to food festivals and cherry blossom strolls, Music City in the spring is alive with energy, color, and that signature Southern charm.
Festivals That Hit Every Note
It’s Nashville, so obviously, live music is everywhere.
Spring brings a full lineup of festivals, from multi-day bluegrass bashes to local street fairs with impromptu front porch sets.
Expect free concerts in the park, ticketed events with national acts, and even family-friendly music fests where little ones can dance like nobody’s watching.
The best part? There’s something playing almost every weekend.
Food, Flowers, and Full-On Fun
Spring in Nashville means the patios are packed, the gardens are blooming, and the food trucks are out in full force.
Seasonal events like cherry blossom festivals, craft fairs, and farmers markets pop up all over town.
Get ready for barbecue tastings, biscuit throwdowns, and a few friendly competitions over who makes the best hot chicken.
Hint: You’re the real winner no matter which booth you choose.
Family-Friendly and Festival-Ready
Many Nashville spring events are made for families—or at least stroller-friendly.
Head to community parks for art walks, pop-up petting zoos, and storytelling hours that make it easy to keep little ones happy (and worn out).
Easter egg hunts, spring break programming, and kid zones at larger festivals mean you don’t have to choose between having fun and being a parent.
