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 18 years, we’ve documented these events in the pages of Nfocus, bringing you the ins and outs of the most elegant and coolest events in the community. Since that first black-and-white 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 in helping you determine where to go, whom to support and when to plan your own event.

If your event didn’t make it into the calendar—no worries— just shoot us an email, and we’ll add the information to our online calendar. We post updates frequently as well as other fun pieces of gossip on our N the Know Blog. Check us out at nfocusmagazine.com.

A special note of thanks for this year’s calendar goes to Lindsey Lanquist and Julie Wilson. Both young ladies are Harpeth Hall seniors who interned at Nfocus, gathering information for the calendar and providing us with nonstop giggles all summer. We’re proud to claim them as ours.

Now—a few housekeeping notes on how we operate and questions you’ve asked us over the years:

The most reliable place is the Nordstrom Customer Service Desk. Or check your favorite grocer (Kroger in Belle Meade, Brentwood and Green Hills, Whole Foods in the Hill Center, Harris Teeter in Belle Meade), restaurant or salon. Some selective merchants also stock Nfocus. Nfocus is distributed on the final Friday or first Friday of the month.

Also, there’s a list of distribution points on our website at nfocusmagazine.com. Don’t forget to friend us on Facebook (Nfocus Nashville), and we’ll make sure to send you an alert when the magazine hits the streets.

Absolutely! We’ll mail you one every month if you’ll call 2447989, ext. 274 with your credit card number. Or send a check for $50 to: Nfocus Subscriptions, 210 12th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203. You can also subscribe at nfocusmagazine.com.

Send us an invitation at 210 12th Avenue South, Suite 100, Nashville, TN 37203. It not only tells us where to be and when to be there, it 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.

It’s easy! Just email your information to socialcalendar@nfocusmagazine.com.

We also always appreciate receiving event updates via email.
