To Nfocus Readers and Social Planners, Who says there’s nothing to do in Nashville? Just take one quick glimpse at The Season, Nfocus’ Social Calendar, and you’ll find more than enough parties and events to fill your schedule. For 22 years, we’ve documented these events in the pages of Nfocus, bringing you the ins and outs of the most elegant and exciting events in the community. Since that first black-andwhite cover from the Royal Chase, Nashville has welcomed fresh faces, new causes, a vibrant downtown landscape and social scene as well as a multitude of diverse, multi-dimensional parties that benefit wonderful causes throughout the city. We hope our calendar is a handy guide to help you determine where to go, whom to support and when to plan your own event.
Where can I find Nfocus? The most reliable place is The Mall at Green Hills. Or check your favorite grocer (Kroger in Belle Meade, Brentwood and Green Hills; Whole Foods in the Hill Center and Franklin), restaurant or salon. Some selective merchants also stock Nfocus. Nfocus is distributed on the final Friday or first Friday of the month. There’s a list of distribution points on our website at nfocusnashville.com. Don’t forget to like us on Facebook (Nfocus Magazine) and follow us on Twitter (@NfocusMagazine) and Instagram (@NfocusMagazine), and we’ll make sure to send you an alert when the magazine hits the stands.
If your event didn’t make it into the calendar, no worries. Just shoot us an email at socialcalendar@nfocusmagazine.com, and we’ll add the information to our online calendar. Check us out at nfocusnashville.com.
Can I buy a subscription? Absolutely! We’ll mail you one every month if you’ll call 615-2447989, ext. 308. We'll take your credit card number over the phone, or send a check for $60 to: Nfocus Subscriptions, 210 12th Ave. S., Nashville, TN 37203. You can also subscribe at nfocusnashville.com.
A special note of thanks for this year’s calendar goes to Ryland Close. This Belmont University senior interned at Nfocus, gathered information for the calendar and kept us organized throughout the summer. He was a wonderful addition to our team.
I’d like my restaurant, shop, hotel or salon to be a distribution point for Nfocus. How do I get invited to be on the list? Simply email the request to csanders@southcomm.com.
Now—a few housekeeping notes on how we operate and answers to common questions you’ve asked us over the years:
How can I advertise in Nfocus? Call Maggie Bond at 615-844-9233 or email her at mbond@nfocusmagazine.com.
How can I get Nfocus to cover my event? Send an invitation to 210 12th Ave. S., Suite 100, Nashville, TN 37203. This will tell us not only where to be and when to be there, but it also gives us a sense of the party, indicates dress code and helps us interpret the event to our readers. Our first priority is to cover charitable events. We occasionally crash private parties, significant birthdays and important anniversaries, too. And we always appreciate receiving event updates via email at socialcalendar@nfocusmagazine.com. Our calendar fills up quickly, so please send invitations at least a month in advance.
How do I get my event on next year’s calendar? It’s easy! Just email your information to socialcalendar@nfocusmagazine.com. How do I get my picture in Nfocus? Simply smile, pose like normal and tell us your real name. That’s all there is to it! We’ll see you on the circuit!
