🎸🌽 Welcome to Middle Tennessee in June: Where Your GPS Cries and Your Ears Ring (Happily) 🎤🚗

It’s that magical time of year again, folks — CMA Fest in Nashville AND Bonnaroo in Manchester. That’s right, we live in the only place where you can see cowboy boots and glitter body paint at the same gas station.

If you’re new here, here’s what to expect:

🎶 CMA Fest:

• Country stars everywhere. Like, everywhere.

• Downtown Nashville becomes a sea of denim, boots, and bachelorette tiaras.

• Traffic? Let’s just say… bring snacks.

• Bonus: You might accidentally end up in a music video while grabbing coffee.

🎪 Bonnaroo:

• Located in peaceful Manchester — until 80,000 campers show up with hula hoops and zero plans to shower.

• You’ll hear music drifting across fields, and possibly a debate about kombucha vs. Red Bull at the gas station.

• Pro tip: Avoid I-24 unless you’re attending… or want a spiritual lesson in patience.

🚧 Locals Know:

• Take back roads. Always.

• Stock up on groceries by Wednesday.

• Be nice to your out-of-town friends — they mean well, even if they ask “how far is Nashville from Tennessee?”

So whether you’re headed to a rooftop in boots or a tent in a field, just remember: Middle Tennessee is the center of the musical universe this weekend — and we love it, traffic and all. 🎶
