First up, Bridgestone Arena pulses as the Nashville Predators take on the Flyers at 7 p.m.—hockey fever equals face paint and nachos, baby! Friday night, don your sparkliest boots for “Opry 100” at Grand Ole Opry, a historic party where you get backstage, knock elbows with country stars, sip top-shelf drinks, and stand in the legendary wooden circle. If you live for the magic, Ryman Auditorium rolls with Friendsgiving on November 10 featuring Brad Paisley and Old Dominion, and Ella Langley with Kaitlin Butts on November 6—yes, you can wave to a country icon while munching popcorn. Music City explodes with quirky jams at Bluebird Cafe, with singer-songwriter showcases basically every night, or get mystical at Candlelight: Rings & Dragons at The Parthenon before November 14, a candlelit concert featuring music from “Game of Thrones” and “Lord of the Rings”—nerds unite amid Greek columns! For comedy cravings, catch “Whose Live Anyway?” or British wit Sarah Millican at the Ryman this week for gut-busting improv and stand-up. Sporty souls, flex your game-day cheers at FirstBank Stadium—it’s local college football mania, or zip out to Fortera Stadium on November 8 for Austin Peay Governors vs. Central Arkansas Bears.
