Nashville’s Lively Friday Five: Moonlight Music, Refreshing Tipples, and More To Discover
The spirited city of Nashville is renowned for its vibrant culture and uniquely southern charm — a perfect canvas for the Friday Five, a curated selection of weekly events designed to showcase the city’s lively food and entertainment scene. This week’s roundup includes the Full Moon Pickin’ Party, a refreshing Gimlet at Roze Pony, and much more.
Fiddlin’ Under a Full Moon at Percy Warner Park
In Music City, USA, the Full Moon Pickin’ Parties are a top attraction. Nashville’s compelling bluegrass concerts, held one Friday a month in alignment with the full moon, run from May through September at Percy Warner Park. These evening events feature three acts across four hours, welcoming both canines and children. Attendees are free to bring their hampers or purchase edibles on-site. The tickets, priced at $28 per adult and $12 per child (7-17 years), are economical, allowing three complimentary beers with every adult ticket. All proceeds are channeled to the Friends of Warner Parks, a nonprofit organization maintaining the beauty of Percy and Edwin Warner Parks.
A Gimlet Pour at Roze Pony
In Nashville’s hotter climes, there’s nothing like a cold gimlet to hit the spot. A perfect blend of gin, lime cordial or fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, the Gimlet whisked at Roze Pony is a must-try. Paired with their invigorating selection of oysters or salmon tartare, it’s pure bliss.
YoCo 96.7 FM & Y’all 106.7 FM, the Sounds of Nashville
Nashville’s airwaves rhythm to the beat of two distinctly characteristic local stations. YoCo 96.7 boasts an eclectic shuffle of country, hip-hop, and urban music. Y’all 106.7 emanates the delightful nostalgia of ’90s country, its playlist filled with tunes that conjure fond memories and transport listeners back to a simpler era.
VN Pho’s Chili Monkey King Chili Oil
A preferred flavor enhancer in Southeast Asia, chili oil has gained fame in various continents. Now, Nashville locals can savor VN Pho’s homemade Chili Monkey King chili oil, a perfect balance of heat and aroma. It’s a condiment that elevates any dish with a subtle kick and an intense flavor profile.
Drift Nashville Pool Pass
Nothing spells luxury like a Drift Nashville Pool Pass. The $50 ticket lets you lounge leisurely for an entire day, sans any pretense. That’s not all; indulge in the resort’s culinary delights such as Dawn Cafe’s quintessential grab-and-go foods or The Sun Room’s Spanish picnic fare.
To sum up, Nashville offers residents and visitors a host of activities to keep them entertained every week. From music jam sessions to sipping on refreshing gimlets, to tuning into beloved local radio stations, there’s always something exciting to add to your Nashville Friday Five list.
