Eats & Beats weekend
Going to Eats & Beats? Here's the rest of the clock.
The Nashville Eats & Beats Festival lands August 28 at The Fairgrounds Nashville. Around it, the rest of the city keeps running on its own clock. These are the live and coming-up here-then-gone windows in Nashville through that weekend -- pop-ups, one-night dinners, limited menus. Pulled straight from what the machine tracks. Nothing undated, nothing already closed.
Independent local list. Fleeting is not affiliated with, and does not run, the Nashville Eats & Beats Festival; we just track the fleeting food around it.
Live for Sunday, August 2 · 24 windows through Eats & Beats weekend
