Things to do in Nashville for New Year’s Eve in 2024

New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays – I LOVE the sequins and champagne, as well as the hope that comes with the new year. But, it can be a lot – and there are so many options to choose from! So, here are things to do in Nashville for New Year’s Eve in 2024 that don’t require you to watch the ball drop downtown with 200,000+ of your closest friends.

More will be added as they’re announced, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back!

*Please note, I’m focusing on parties that will keep you OUT of the downtown fray. So, while there are probably a ton of great parties happening in/around Bicentennial, perhaps check out Nashville Guru for those.
