Nashville Fall Festival kicks off

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — It’s that time of year: Nashville’s third annual Fall Festival is here!

With a riverfront tractor ride, pumpkin houses and more, this family-friendly fall festival has something for everyone. You can also see tons of live music, including Michael Rix, who performed on Thursday.

Even though Tennessee’s drought conditions affected some fall harvest staples like sunflowers, co-owner of the festival Paul White said that sunflowers will appear in a week or so.

“We got less than two tenths of an inch of rain in the month of August here,” White told News 2. “That really affected them…We’ve got pumpkins, we’ve got a corn maze that looks great, so y’all come on down!”

The festival also has a corn maze, which co-owner Lance Pettyjohn said takes on a new design every year.

“We plant all the corn like you would a normal cornfield…We draw the design ourselves, then we have a guy come out with GPS and cut it for us when the corn’s about two feet tall.”

Admission for adults is $20. Children between seven and 13 can get in for $10 and children under seven can attend the festival for free. The festival is open from September 20 until October 27

On Fridays from 3 p.m. until dark

On Saturdays from 9 a.m. until dark

On Sundays from 12 p.m. until dark

Flashlight nights will be during October 25 and 27 and attendees then will have an “extra festive experience.”

You can find the 66-acre site in southwestern Davidson County at 8687 Old Harding Pike.
