Nashville is the promised land for country music fans
Making it Happen
GETTING TO NASHVILLE
From NYC and Chicago, American, Continental, and Delta have the most affordable nonstop routes. From the western U.S., Southwest has affordable rates. All of the major car rental agencies have outposts at the Nashville International Airport.
WHEN TO GO TO NASHVILLE
Summers get pretty hot and sticky, so the best times to visit are spring, fall and winter (which is mild). Festivals worth checking out are the Tin Pan Alley Songwriter’s Festival in March and the Music City Marathon in April. The CMA (Country Music Association) Music Festival, in June, attracts thousands of fans, so don’t go then if you want to avoid the crowds.
