If you’ve been in town long enough, you’ve likely heard of Nashville’s Fashion Week, which is a week long celebration of the fashion industry in Nashville. And for good reason! Since Nashville has become the new ‘it’ city, dozens of talented and forward-thinking fashion designers and companies have moved to Nashville to set up shop.
These events occur mostly in downtown Nashville, so be sure to budget in time to get through traffic, and to find good parking venues! A great local tip? The downtown library usually has reasonably-priced parking.
