Make the most of the extra evening daylight in Nashville

During daylight saving time, the clocks “spring forward,” allowing Nashvillians to make the most of their evenings.

Brighter evenings are on the way as daylight saving time returns this weekend. We’ll lose an hour of sleep when clocks jump forward early Sunday morning, but gain extra daylight for the next several months. Here are a few ways to make the most of those longer evenings around Nashville.

Take advantage of golden hour

Music City has a skyline worth bragging about — capture the sunset from the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge for your phone’s background.

Reset your routine

If the lost sleep hits you hard, consider an early evening caffeine run at any of our buzzing coffee shops or book a sauna session to unwind.

Catch live music after work

Outdoor concert season is within reach. See which artists and bands are coming to Ascend Amphitheater this spring.

Enjoy the great outdoors

Admire the spring foliage, get your steps in on easy trails, or plan a picnic at any of Nashville’s parks.

Attend a local event

Every month, we update our Plan Ahead with a variety of events happening in and around Nashville, no matter when the sun sets.
