Halloween weekend is here, and Middle Tennessee is ready for it. We scouted the calendar from downtown Nashville to our own Franklin Main Street and picked seven events for October 30-November 1, 2026, each one verified and still on. Arena shows, a beautiful old theatre, a matinee hockey game, and a farm full of pumpkins: there is something for everyone, so grab your people and get out there.
Zach Top brings his throwback honky-tonk sound to Bridgestone with Lukas Nelson on the bill. Sharp songs, a pedal steel heartbeat, and the energy of a Saturday night skyline show, kicking off your Halloween weekend right in downtown Nashville.
Official Event PageNeko Case and Allison Russell share the Mother Church stage with Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Destroyer (solo), and more. A one-night gathering of masterful voices in the most storied room in country and roots music, and exactly the kind of show people fly to Nashville for.
Official Event PageThe Franklin Theatre kicks off its Halloween film festival with Rocky Horror Picture Show, the midnight-movie classic that made audiences a part of the show. Rated R, so this one is for the grown-up crowd. A delightfully weird way to start the holiday weekend right on Main Street.
Official Event PageSpend Halloween afternoon in gold as the Preds host the Lightning in an early matinee, complete with the annual Fan Fang giveaway. Grab the family, pick up a jersey, and catch all the pregame buzz before the sun even sets. Hockey is the perfect daytime costume: just wear gold.
Official Event PageFranklin’s beloved fall farm stays open right through Halloween weekend, with pumpkins, fall activities, and plenty of open space for little ones to run off their candy energy. Last admission to the activity area is 45 minutes before close, so give yourself a couple of unhurried hours.
Official Event PageCelebrate Halloween with the Prince of Darkness as the Nashville Ozzy tribute Scream tears through Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, and the rest of the classics at The Mockingbird Theater inside The Factory. Costumes are welcome, and the whole show is all ages. A loud, fun night right in our own backyard.
Official Event PageClose out the weekend with a big, sing-along rock night as Three Days Grace bring the Alienation Tour to Bridgestone with I Prevail and The Funeral Portrait. Arena-sized choruses, huge production, and a Sunday-night crowd that still has plenty of energy left.

Talk soon, Mike
