Fun Facts: The Nashville Flea Market at The Fairgrounds Nashville is considered one of the top ten flea markets in the country. With over 300 vendors from 30 states offering their wares to the public every month, The Tennessee Magazine and Busy Bee Trader continue to vote the Nashville Flea Market as the #1 flea market in Tennessee. For more than half a century, this iconic event operates monthly drawing an impressive ½ million visitors annually and growing. Founded in 1969, the Nashville Flea Market has been in operation for almost 60 consecutive years.
- Meetup: Nashville Soccer Club Game - my first soccer game ever! I think we may be lucky because they won 7 to 2!
Fun Fact: The 30,000-seat Geodis stadium is the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada, featuring a 360-degree canopy, a 65-foot-wide shared concourse and a safe standing supporter’s section.
Sunday 4/27:
- Meetup: Coffee at Honest Coffee Roasters at the Factory at Franklin, followed by a stroll around the Franklin Festival.
Fun Fact: This beloved annual tradition produced by the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN is consistently listed among the top 20 events in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society.
Hope this was inspirational in some way!
