The Nashville Fair is back for its fourth year, bringing 10 days of family-friendly fun, interactive agriculture exhibits, thrilling rides, live music, and cultural performances to the Nashville Fairgrounds, September 5-14, 2025. This year’s theme, “Now With More Cowbell!,” pays homage to the iconic Saturday Night Live skit. And we have tickets to give away!

Get nose-to-nose with farm life at the Fair’s AGtivity Hall, featuring cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits and butterflies. More than 60 musical acts will perform on three stages, and cultural celebrations combining music and dance will occur both weekends. The action-packed line-up also includes wrestling and monster truck mayhem, high-energy dinner shows, a vibrant creative arts expo, aerialist performances and a brew fest.

The Nashville Fair offers discounted tickets and four-packs are available online through opening day. Children ages 5 and under get in free, and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Save time and buy online here.
