    Jan 25 2026
    Welcome to your Nashville events guide for this week. Whether you're a music lover, family adventurer, or culture seeker, Music City has something spectacular lined up for you.

    This Sunday, you've got some fantastic options happening right now. If you're looking for a live music experience, head over to Ole Red Nashville where Tanner Fussell is performing at eleven in the morning. For families seeking enchantment, the Nashville Zoo's Zoolumination Festival of Lights is open until nine tonight, showcasing over a thousand dazzling custom silk lanterns and towering illuminated creatures. According to the Nashville Zoo, this is the country's largest Chinese lantern festival, and they've added a brand new ice rink this year along with nightly live performances and Santa's Village for seasonal fun.

    If you missed the Frozen in Concert performance with the Nashville Symphony yesterday, don't worry because there's still time to catch other incredible shows this week.

    Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we've got some exciting developments. The National Small Business Conference is happening January twenty-sixth through twenty-eighth at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, bringing together federal agencies, business leaders, and industry experts with matchmaking opportunities and networking events.

    Now here's an important note for live music fans. The Encore Tour featuring the cast of the hit television series Nashville, including Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson, and Sam Palladio, was originally scheduled for today at Ryman Auditorium but has been rescheduled to Tuesday, January twenty-seventh at seven-thirty in the evening due to anticipated severe weather. All original tickets will be honored for the new date. The Ryman, built in eighteen ninety-two, is one of the most revered stages in modern music history, so this is definitely worth adding to your calendar.

    The Zoolumination Festival continues throughout the week and weekend, running through February eighth, so if you can't make it today, you've got plenty of other opportunities to experience this magical event with your family and friends.
