Your Guide to October in Nashville
Spooky SZN is officially upon us! Executive producer Whitney Pastorek, producer Marie Cecile Anderson, and Hey Nashville newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury share ideas for Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating, great family activities at the Zoo and local farms, can’t-miss comedy and music, and the best food and drink events of the month. We’re also quibbling with the Belcourt’s rules for their upcoming “Rocky Horror” screenings, and looking for info on who’s giving out full-sized candy bars this year. For even more tips on how to make the most of October 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 an insider’s guide to fall football (if you haven’t already given up on the Titans) and advice on how to start running now that the weather is a little cooler. We’ve tried to make sense of our local weed scene, and a look inside the best new bars and restaurants around the city. And if you simply must get out of town this month, we’ve got advice on how to find cheap flights out of BNA, and plans for the perfect weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, TN.
City Cast Nashville’s guide to October is made possible by our awesome exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas.
City Cast Nashville brings you a new episode every weekday morning with the day's can't-miss conversation about life in Music City. We’re covering the news and culture of our endlessly growing city from every perspective we can find — including yours. It’s like a backyard barbecue and the whole town’s invited, so whether you’ve lived here for a blink or a lifetime, we hope you’ll pull up a lawn chair and sit a while.
