It’s August in Music City, and the outdoors is steamy! Host Grace Fuisz, producer Marie Cecile Anderson, and Hey Nashville newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury are here with your guide to the month ahead. The next few weeks feature a flock of great fairs and festivals — from Tomato Art Fest to the Tennessee State Fair — plus a ton of options for moviegoers and filmmakers alike. August also means back to school in Nashville, and we’ve got tips for parents as well as college students who might be getting here for the very first time. And since it’s National Dog Month, we’re running down some of the best patios in town for you and your furry friend. 

For even more tips on how to make the most of August in Nashville, check out Hey Nashville’s take on what to do this month. 

And if you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve covered some great activities and opportunities across the city in recent episodes: We’ve got your guide to roller skating and blading in Nashville, a look inside Music City Uke Fest (happening this weekend!), and suggestions for some fantastic international restaurants worth checking out.
