10 Things to Do in Nashville in November

Nashville is the capital of the state of Tennessee and is known in the US as Music City because certain musical genres such as country and rock 'n' roll are closely linked to the history of this community. Specifically, several highly entertaining events take place during the month of November.

I invite you to follow the recommendations for plans and activities that I have compiled. I assure you that regardless of your tastes, these are the best things to do during the month of November.

The fall season, and specifically November, is a very important time for concerts in Nashville. You can book tickets for the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville or check the symphony orchestra's schedule, which is halfway through the season, so there are usually at least six or seven recitals throughout the month.

The theme of the concerts always varies, and the only thing you need to know is that it will be a symphonic performance. There are usually at least two performances that focus on contemporary artists. It has become practically a tradition to have at least one concert during this month dedicated to Frank Sinatra or some other exponent of American music.

Since these types of events take place in the evening, keep in mind that you will have the whole day available for other activities. Therefore, I highly recommend participating in some of the best sightseeing tours in Nashville, especially those that focus on Downtown. The symphony is located one block from Broadway Street and is usually one of the main stops on the afternoon Nashville tourist tram tour.

The rural character of Tennessee is something that can be felt in many corners of Nashville, even though it is a modern and cosmopolitan city. That's why touring the city on a tractor can be a very entertaining activity, and November is an ideal time for it because it's not yet cold enough to be uncomfortable and there are fewer tourists.

Keep in mind that if you book a Nashville tractor party , it will be a tour for adults, and that alcohol and music, both country and rock 'n' roll, are the hallmarks of the experience.

In fact, it's one of the best things to do in Nashville at night, because it allows you to appreciate the beauty of the city center while having fun on a tractor that is equipped for you to dance the night away.

Don't miss the Nashville area, and of course, an ideal visit for the month of November is Arrington Vineyard. Thanksgiving is celebrated at the end of this month, and it's an ideal activity to join in this important American holiday.

I recommend booking in advance if you're interested in visiting this famous winery owned by one of the stars of country music. It's also a good idea to book transportation to and from Arrington Vineyard, as it's not exactly close to downtown Nashville.

For many years, the Grand Ole Opry was based at the Ryman Auditorium, but since they moved, this venue is not usually open to the public. However, during November and December, it comes back to life and a series of special concerts are often organized to celebrate the joy that defines the last months of the year.

If you want to attend one of these concerts, you should know that they are country music events. It is also important to note that these are evening events, so the best food tours in Nashville can be a great way to explore the culinary world of downtown Nashville just before the musical event begins.

In any case, if you are unable to get tickets to any of the concerts at the Ryman Auditorium, you can book an audio-guided tour of the Ryman Auditorium.

Veterans Day is commemorated on November 11 in the U.S. to honor all those who have served in the armed forces. As it is such an important date, it makes sense to organize a parade, which usually takes place on the weekend closest to this day. This free event usually takes place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Nashville's most famous street, Broadway Street.

People attending the event usually dress in the colors of the US flag and other patriotic items. Keep in mind that some military personnel participate in the parade, as well as bands and orchestras from schools in the city.

And since you'll be in the city center, it's a great idea to take advantage of one of the Nashville tourist passes to get discounts on admission to some of the attractions in the area, paying a fraction of what you would normally have to pay.

Auto shows are one of the most typical events in the US and one of the best opportunities for tourists to learn about the latest developments in the American automotive industry. As Nashville is one of the most visited cities in the United States, it is logical that it hosts this type of event, which is organized in mid-November.

At this event, you will have the opportunity to test drive some of the most modern vehicles on the planet, and it is a very entertaining activity for the whole family, even for the youngest members of the household. In fact, it is one of the best things to do in Nashville with children, as it can be educational.

You should know that this is a three-day convention, but two or three hours will be more than enough for a visit. Therefore, booking a comedy and music bus tour of Nashville could be two excellent entertainment alternatives to accompany this event.

Every year, the Bridgestone Arena hosts the most important night in American country music, the CMA Awards, which is the equivalent of the Grammy Awards for this unique musical genre that is so famous in the south and center of the country.

If you are in town and can get tickets, you can't miss it, as it is one of the best musical celebrations in all of North America. It's also an excellent opportunity to visit one of the largest sports venues in the country, the Bridgestone Arena.

The exact date of the event changes every year, although it is always in November. Of course, if you're interested in learning more about the history of country music and its cultural importance to Nashville, you can visit some of the best museums in Nashville. Mainly because the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame are two places where you can listen to this genre of music in the exhibitions on display.

This event is an annual activity organized from November to early January in which Chinese artists create dozens of mythological creatures to form light sculptures throughout the Nashville Zoo.

It is one of the largest Chinese lantern festivals in the country and is not to be missed if you visit Nashville in November. Above all, knowing that this month is the most appropriate time to participate in this activity, as December has a higher tourist influx.

Keep in mind that this zoo, even during the day, is one of the best things to do in Nashville and is an excellent option for family entertainment. It is also ideal for a group of adults looking for quiet and harmless activities to take a break from the festivities.

In many places around the world, Christmas shopping starts in November, and in Nashville, a special market is organized every year to encourage locals and tourists to start planning their wish lists well in advance. This place is called Christmas Village and is held at the Fairgrounds in mid-November.

This is a great opportunity for children to have their picture taken with Santa Claus and get into the Christmas spirit in November. Keep in mind that tickets usually cost around €10 per person, although children under 10 get in free and don't usually pay any additional fees if they want to have their picture taken with Santa Claus.

If, at the end of your visit to the fair, you feel that you haven't managed to buy everything you want, you can take a tour of downtown Nashville. It's one of those tours where you get a golf cart to make the shopping experience completely entertaining and unique. Keep in mind that these are some of the best tours in Nashville and are an excellent way to make the experience of shopping in the city center more fun and memorable.

Without a doubt, Gaylord Opryland is one of Nashville's most important attractions. It is a hotel and convention center located approximately 14 kilometers from downtown. November is one of the best months of the year to visit this place because you can experience it in two different ways depending on when you arrive:

• If you visit during the first few weeks of the month, you will find it decorated for fall.
• And from the end of the third week of November onwards, you'll find a completely Christmas atmosphere. This is an excellent opportunity for your children to have their photos taken with Santa and enjoy the typical decorations of a Christmas village.

Average temperatures in Nashville in November are usually around 10°C. This is because the highs don't usually rise above 14°C, while the lows are usually around 5°C.

November is not a particularly busy month for tourism in Nashville, except for Thanksgiving weekend and the CMA Awards.

November is an inexpensive month to visit Nashville because it is not considered peak tourist season. The only exception is Thanksgiving week. However, Black Friday is an excellent opportunity to shop for discounts.

Also, keep in mind that regardless of when you go, you can book the Nashville Fun Pass to save a few euros.

As November is significantly cold in Nashville despite being autumn, I recommend that you bring coats that are also waterproof. Rain is a frequent occurrence throughout the month.

It is also advisable to bring comfortable shoes, and you should not forget a couple of smart outfits in case you have a sophisticated dinner in the city.
