Get ready for summer fun, Nashville.

Things are heating up. The first day of summer (June 21) is almost here, and we want to fill it full of activities — that’s where you come in. Will you help us craft the ultimate Nashville summer bucket list? We’ll give you bonus points if you’re able to cross off each of the items.

From outdoor adventures to ways to soak up the sun or hang in the shade, we want to hear them all. Send us your summertime must-dos or something you’ve always wanted to do, but haven’t had the chance to — this is your year. We’ll round up our readers’ suggestions to share in an upcoming newsletter.

For example, Editor Skylar has always wanted to check off a weekend staycation at Urban Cowboy or Getaway Dale Hollow on her Nashville summer bucket list.

So what do you say, Music City? Take this survey to help us make this summer the best one yet.
