Headline: Nashville Buzzing with Unforgettable Events - Hot Dogs, Opry Celebrations, Dance Fests, and More

Nashville is buzzing this week and weekend with unforgettable events for every kind of listener. Today, get things started at the Hot Diggity Dog Fest at Capitol View. Unleash some fun with local eats, pet-friendly vendors, and family games happening all day. If you want classic Nashville, no night is more iconic than this evening’s Grand Ole Opry 100th celebration, where Bill Anderson, Mandy Barnett, and John Carter headline a milestone night. Listen in on country music history, enjoy top-shelf bites, and even step into the legendary wooden circle backstage, just like the stars have for a century. Tickets with a premium lounge and after-show tour are still available, according to the Grand Ole Opry.

Throughout the weekend, let your two left feet lead you right to the Nashville Dance Fest, back and bigger than ever at the Nashville Palace. Whether you’re a pro or just want to groove, classes and open dancing run September 5th through the 7th, making this a lively stop for all ages, as Visit Music City highlights.

Sports fans can catch the excitement at Nissan Stadium for the Tennessee State University vs North Dakota State showdown tonight. Arrive early to soak in tailgates and the crisp fall air, as NewsChannel 5 notes. Later this week, country and bluegrass lovers should mark their calendars for Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton's set, scheduled for Monday at the Ryman Auditorium. Ryman's lineup is loaded with events including Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, and Sidewalk Sessions with Kiran Gupta and Adam Simons for some outstanding free, open-air music.

Comedy listeners can plan ahead for an evening with Jo Koy or get ready to laugh with Jimmy Carr and Bald Brothers—just check Ryman’s calendar and snag tickets early as shows fill fast. If you’re looking for food and fun deals, Nashville Guru suggests using the code GURU at local spots like Bavarian Bierhaus for Oktoberfest events coming soon, and Touch of Brews for discounted tickets in early October.

To keep the fun going, the Nashville Fair at the Fairgrounds is open all weekend, perfect for families who love rides, games, and classic treats. Nighttime brings more action: outdoor shows, late-night eats, and live music echoing from every street corner in the Gulch and Broadway.

Whether you want to dance, sing, laugh, feast, or simply soak in the sights, there’s something for everyone happening across Music City right now and into the weekend.
