Get your ticket to the Nashville Film Festival, the oldest running film festival in the United States. More than 23,000 fans show up to appreciate the eight-day red carpet opportunity to see over 2,000 select indie films from one hundred countries from around the globe. Works submitted range from drama to comedy.
The musical talents of Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, The Mamas and the Papas, and the Beach Boys are on exhibit at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum in the heart of downtown Nashville. You'll see the exact instruments each musician used to record the very songs that made them iconic legends.
It gets a little batty at Duber Cave State Park, where its most prominent natural cave used to lend its big roomy mouth to local square dances, radio shows and big band instrumental concerts; the cave is now temporarily sold out due to a thriving bat community. Bats aside, there's plenty of outdoor recreation like fishing, hiking and picnicking to enjoy, making a trip to this bat cave well worth the drive.
