It's true. The best time to visit Nashville is during the sweltering season (although the beginning of May and end of September are good times). You can bank on 90-degree days with humidity clocking in at 80%. Visiting in October and November prove to be a great option considering temperatures hover around 70 degrees. During the winter, Nashville does get some snow, although it's nothing to write home about. Rain is pretty even keel all year long. Expect a drier season from August through October. Transportation
Nashville International Airport is eight miles east of downtown, off I-40. The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus connects the airport to Nashville's downtown, and many hotels have complimentary shuttles for airport service. Taxi cabs and rental cars are also available. If you're staying downtown, you can depend on your feet for transportation. Downtown is easily managed on foot, and a river taxi is the best way to get from downtown to Opryland. But, we suggest a rental car if you plan to take in other attractions and neighborhoods. Keep in mind that parking garages downtown are plentiful and cheap. MTA operates a trolley-like shuttle between major tourist sites at the riverfront and out to Music Row. In-Season Costs
Nashville is pretty much stable year-round. Tennessee Tourism - Nashville Sightseeing, Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
If you've had your fill of Opryland and recording studios, drive West on I-40 and you'll hit Memphis in about two and a half hours. Enjoy a tour of Graceland or some fine Memphis barbeque in the heart of downtown. If you're up for an overnight trip, head east to Knoxville, which lies on the border of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. It is a four-to five-hour drive from Nashville. Don't forget to check out Pigeon Forge's Dollywood if time permits.

Carmina Burana
25th Anniversary Season of Nashville Ballet
Category: Nashville Theatre in Tennessee
Description of this Nashville Activity: Carmina Burana, April 29-May1, 2011 Jackson Hall at TPAC
The “Bravos” were overwhelming when Vasterling’s 2009 production of Carmina Burana debuted, and The Ballet will present an encore performance for the finale of our 25th season. This ballet is larger than life with Nashville Ballet, The Nashville Symphony, The Nashville Symphony Chorus, The Nashville Children’s Choir, and guest vocalists, all joining forces to present the family-friendly Carmina Burana! The dancers are front and center with the chorus raised up above the stage and the symphony spills along the sides of the stage for an avalanche of pure sound and motion. German composer Carl Orff set these irreverent poems to music in 1936 and this popular score continues to live on through countless television commercials, film scores, and concert performances around the globe. The lyrics and movement portray life’s pleasures, love, spring, and the uncertainty of the fates. Based on Latin verses written by German monks who lived in the foothills of the Bavarian mountains, this music remains one of the most popular classic pieces today. Salvatore Aiello’s sensual The Afternoon of a Faun, set to the music of Claude Debussy, will open this performance.
