How to do it
Walk to The Beast, ride to everything else. The Basement East is a short walk from the building. Bridgestone and the Ryman are a short ride across the river. The Opry House is a drive.
Plan for the arena nights. Two Olivia Rodrigo shows on a Monday and Tuesday put a big crowd downtown early in the week. Leave extra time to get across the river.
Book ahead for the long weekend. Thanksgiving weekend brings family visits and holiday shows to town at the same time. If you want an apartment with a kitchen and room for everyone, check availability. The full list is on the events page.
