There are SO many festivals and parties happening in the Nashville area this year and if I listed them all you would still be reading this article on Christmas day.
Haunted Tours
- Canoe the Caney Haunted Canoe Trip – What a great idea from Canoe the Caney. It starts as a walking tour of the military recreation base then you paddle on to “cemetery grove”.
