Do you hate crowds? Guns? Do you want to avoid anything political? Or are you attending the NRA Convention, love guns, and are looking for some non-NRA things to do? Well, whether you are a local who wants to avoid the 80,000+ influx of people in Downtown Nashville, or an NRA Convention attendee with a taste for something other than Hank Williams, Jr. and Colt Ford, we have the list for you. It’s not a “How To Avoid Downtown” list, but rather a “How to Dig Deeper and Better Consider It” one. There’s a lot going on, and we want to encourage you to venture out downtown and discover all that this great city of Nashville has to offer. So here’s your Things To Do in Downtown Nashville this Weekend (That Don’t Involve Guns) activity list:
