NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Nashville Fair, back for its fifth year, celebrated all weekend long with this year’s theme: “Fun for the Whole Country!” The Fair will continue celebrating with family-friendly fun all week long. 

Last Friday, the Fair kicked off with the opening ceremony, emceed by Miss Tennessee Volunteer Karenna Rainey and featured Mayor Freddie O’Connell. Monster Trucks roared at the Speedway during their Friday and Saturday shows, winners were crowned at the Fairest of the Fair Pageant and Fair mascot Barnyard Benny thrilled attendees with his frequent interactive trips around the Fairgrounds. 

Beginning tonight at 5 p.m., the Fair reopens its gates for more fun. Don’t miss the  Giant Pumpkin and Watermelon Weigh-off tonight, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m., make sure to stop by the Courtyard on Wednesday, Sept. 16 for the Buckshee Brewfest featuring free samples from local breweries (21+) and music from Government Cheese.
