The holidays are here, your calendar’s full, and your bank account’s clenching. Let us fix at least one of those with free tickets, festive chaos, and actual good shit to do this week.

A Very Vinyl Christmas is taking over the Fairlane Hotel this season — a festive pop-up channeling Music City’s golden era of glamour, sound, and storytelling. Enter to win cocktails for two, cookie decorating, and a cosmic stargazing sesh that’s pure vintage wonder.*
