Your Guide to January 2026 in Nashville

It’s a whole new year, baby! Host Marie Cecile Anderson, producer Daniel Sumstine, and newsletter editor Margaret Kingsbury are ringing it in with their suggestions for the best ways to stay cozy and warm this month, from great performances to chill cafes with cats. Plus, how to celebrate MLK Day in Music City. If you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve featured some great activities and important news stories across the city in recent episodes: Open Table Nashville trained us on how to help our unhoused neighbors when temperatures drop, and the Department of Waste Services taught us what to do with all our holiday trash; we got the scoop on our local pro wrestling scene and the best music from Nashville artists in 2025; we even celebrated “9-1-1: Nashville” and the neighborhood bars that feel like home.
