spring fever

This month has been dubbed AWESOME APRIL by VisitMusicCity.Com, and, when you take a look at the comprehensive list of events taking place, it is easy to see why. With categories ranging from musical happenings to sporting events, Nashville is bound to have a little something for everyone over the next few weeks.

Sarah and I have 12 years of Nash Vegas living between us, and we have been blessed to enjoy many of the sights and sounds of this great city. Both as The Lunchbox Buddies and as individuals, we have have had great experiences and would highly recommend many of these Awesome April events to you, including: Ryman Auditorium, Record Store Day, Nashville Sounds, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, and the Nashville Predators.

With the blue skies and sunshine of springtime upon us, there's no excuse for not taking advantage of some of these great opportunities.

Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival is one option for how to spend your day on Saturday the 12th. The festival's website says describes it as "a celebration of spring and friendship between Japan and America occasioned by the blossoming cherry trees," and explains that the goal is to place 1,000 cherry trees throughout Nashville over the next 10 years! This day long event will include demonstrations, foods, and crafts for individuals and families to enjoy.

The Seventh Annual Iron Fork is being held Wednesday, April 16th.  This tasty event helps raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.  Attendees get to sample cocktails and cuisine from over 20 of Nashville's best restaurants.

For our fellow 90's lovers, Weezer, Goo Goo Dolls, and Rob Thomas will all be performing in Nashville during the month of April! Bust out the light wash jeans and your flannel button ups, they're playing our jams!

So whether you are looking to celebrate your love of horror movies, fashion, running, wrestling...whatever! Check out this month's AWESOME APRIL events and get doing.
