DINNER BY THE BRIDGE
OCT. 6
There’s no better way to experience the many successes of Greenways for Nashville than by celebrating on a greenway! The lively al fresco dinner returns to the Cumberland River Greenway esplanade at the foot of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Guests enjoy a delicious dinner at community tables winding along the banks of the river while raising funds to continue expanding the ever-growing system, which now totals nearly 100 miles. greenwaysfornashville.org. AUTHORS IN THE ROUND
OCT.14
After a four-year absence, the Authors in the Round dinner returns to the War Memorial 14 Auditorium. Book lovers mingle on Legislative Plaza before sitting down to dinner with one of the 40 regionally and nationally known writers there. Not only will all enjoy engaging conversations about literature and more, everyone will take home a copy of their author’s book! It’s an intimate evening before the annual Southern Festival of Books takes place over the weekend. humanitiestennessee.org/air2022.
POPPED!
OCT. 17
In 2019, Family Voices of Tennessee launched Popped!, a fun dinner that features local chefs creating unique dishes inspired by the stories and heritage of families helped by FVT. Award-winning Australian music duo Mark and Jay O’Shea, who faced challenges with their newborn, are chairing the event to raise funds to provide emotional and educational support to other families across the state whose children have special health care needs, chronic illnesses and disabilities. familyvoicestn.org.

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON
SEPT. 30
Another nighttime al fresco party, Once in a Blue Moon brings people together at historic Glen Leven Farm to celebrate The Land Trust for Tennessee and its efforts to conserve approximately 135,000 acres of public and private land across the state. The casual evening — jeans encouraged! — offers music, great food and the timehonored tradition of singing “God Bless America.” A massive bonfire, which can take an entire month to build, always closes out the night. landtrusttn.org. 22
MUSIC CITY HARVEST PARTY
