Looking for something to do in Nashville over the next few days that won't have a negative impact on your little corner of our not-so-thriving economy? Well, we're always watching out for fun and interesting things to do for free around the Nashville area, so here are a few ideas:
Today—Friday, March 27
Stop by Christ Cathedral on Broadway downtown anytime between 5-11pm for BACHanalia—a “musical marathon celebrating the genius and mastery of Johann Sebastian Bach…in expected and unexpected ways.”
Or…you can hear Harvard University’s Radcliffe Choral Society and the Vanderbilt Concert Choir perform a free concert at Christ the King Catholic Church at 7:30pm.
Saturday, March 28
Enjoy some popcorn and watch A Little Princess at the Davis-Kidd Bookstore in Green Hills at 6pm (not sure if the popcorn is free, but the movie is).
Or, if you’re up for a more adventurous outing, go on a flashlight hike with Team Green and see downtown Nashville turn off the lights for Earth Hour. The hike starts at 8pm. Kids and pets on leashes are welcome (only the pets have to be on leashes, but use your own judgment).
Sunday, March 29
It’s a Free Family Day at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, with an afternoon full of activities for all ages related to the Medieval Treasures exhibit (which is fascinating, by the way). There are art activities and a story time for the kids, plus you can all learn some medieval dances…or combat techniques, if that's more to your liking.
Monday, March 30
Hear Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough speak at Belmont’s Curb Event Center at 7:00pm. Tickets are free, and you can get them in advance at the Curb Center box office or at the door.
This is just a sampling, I'm sure. Please feel free to leave comments with ideas for other fun, free things to do!
