Friday is here, and so is the freakin’ weekend! A finish line? Let’s look at it as a starting point where anything could happen… yeah, I like that twist much better. Speaking of twists, instead of our normal Free Stuff Friday, we talk with a local insider about their suggestions on upcoming events, and if you’re a fan of 90’s pop culture, be sure to tune in for this!

Nashville in the spring basically demands a cold drink in your hand, preferably outside with a crowd that’s just as committed to the bit. So yeah, throw your name in for a pair of VIP tickets to the Music City Brewers Fest and enjoy unlimited tastings, live music, and a full day built around good beer and better decisions (or worse ones, depending). Feels like the kind of plan future you will be glad you made!

And don’t worry, there are still LOTS of free things to do this weekend and if you are curious about freebies here’s that link so you still get your fix.
