Father’s Day is coming up fast, Nashville! It’s that annual occasion when we all scramble to find something better than another tie or coffee mug for the dads in our lives. But let’s be real—what most dads want is quality time and memorable experiences. Lucky for you, Music City is buzzing with dad-approved activities—check out our top picks for a Father’s Day weekend that Dad will never forget!
Take Dad Out to the Ball Game
Where: 19 Junior Gilliam Way, Nashville, TN
When: June 8, 2025 – 2:05 PM
Nothing brings families together quite like a day at the ballpark. The Nashville Sounds are hosting a special early celebration for Father’s Day, inviting fans to enjoy a game and some quality time with Dad. After the final inning, fathers and their kids are welcome on the field to round the bases together—a chance to share the moment, soak in the atmosphere, and make a memory that’ll last well beyond the ninth inning.
Classic Cars at Cheekwood
Where: 1200 Forrest Park Drive, Nashville, TN
When: June 14-15, 2025
Speaking of things dads love, classic cars and dads go hand in hand. The Exposition of Elegance at Cheekwood runs the entire Father’s Day weekend, featuring over 100 meticulously maintained classic cars and vintage motorcycles. You can stroll through automotive history while the gorgeous gardens provide a stunning backdrop. There’s something magical about seeing Dad’s eyes light up at the sight of that ’57 Chevy he’s always talked about. With live music, drinks, food trucks, and activities for kids, it’s a family affair that puts Dad right in his element.
Father’s Day Museum Fun Day
Where: 702 Murfreesboro Pike, Nashville, TN
When: June 15, 2025 – 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Got a dad who can’t stop talking about carburetors and horsepower? After checking out the classics at Cheekwood, keep the automotive theme rolling at Lane Motor Museum with their Father’s Day Fun Day. The best part? Dads get in FREE all day! With your paid admission, you’ll score complimentary vault tours and—wait for it—FREE rides in select museum vehicles. These rides are first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive early before all the other car-obsessed families beat you to it!
Brunch It Up at the W
Where: 300 12th Avenue South, Nashville, TN
When: June 15, 2025 – 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Need to fuel up between activities? If your dad believes great food and strong drinks are the key to a perfect morning, the W Nashville’s Father’s Day Brunch is calling his name. Treat him to a spread of mouthwatering bites alongside bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys. With live music from 10 AM to 2 PM, it’s the kind of brunch that practically guarantees a good time. Just don’t be surprised if he tries to request a song—or the mic.
Movie Nostalgia at The Franklin Theatre
Where: 419 Main Street, Franklin, TN
When: June 15, 2025 – 2:00 PM & 7:00 PM
Cap off your Father’s Day with a classic film for the dad who quotes movie lines as life advice. The Franklin Theatre is screening Father of the Bride, a heartfelt classic that’s equal parts laughter and chaos. Watching Steve Martin navigate wedding mayhem might just make your dad feel like he’s had it pretty easy. With showtimes at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, you can plan for an afternoon escape or an evening unwind. Fair warning: if your dad starts clearing his throat during the big speech scene, it’s probably not allergies.
Dine and Unwind

When: Dad’s Choice
