Welcome to Nashville!

Nashville, TN Official Visitor & Tourism

Now that your student has made Nashville his/her home-away-from-home, it is time for them to explore Nashville and all that there is to do here.

There’s always something new and exciting happening in Music City. Whether it’s a popular attraction unveiling a special exhibit, the new dining and hotel choices, unique nightlife venues or more options for shopping, Nashville is a destination that offers something for everyone.

Twice a year, Nashville honors the men and women who write, perform, promote and produce the Nashville sound at the Music City Walk of Fame, located along the Music Mile. The musical legends are announced twice a year at ceremonies held in April and November. Recent inductees include country icons Hank Williams Sr., Merle Kilgore and Steve Wariner, plus jazz saxophone great Kirk Whalum, Christian powerhouse Steven Curtis Chapman and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

The Frist Center for Visual Arts will welcome several special exhibits in 2009. The year begins with Paint Made Flesh, featuring figure paintings created in Europe and America from the 1950’s through 2006. Artists include Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel and many others.

On your mark, get set, go! Adventurous guests can’t wait to try out the new five-story, six-lane water slide at Nashville Shores. The Music City Racer is 350 feet of face-first fun as the light turns green and racers plunge downhill at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour before coasting to a stop. There can be only one winner, but everyone is guaranteed to have fun.

No matter what the season, Music City has something to sing about. You will, too, when you take advantage of the special events that are scheduled throughout the year.
