Thrive in the second half of 2025 in Nashville

It’s halftime, folks. What will the next six months of 2025 look like for you?

Just like Jon Bon Jovi, we’re halfway there. Woah.

At 12 p.m. on Wednesday, July 2, we’ll be at the exact midpoint between the start and end of 2025. And that got us thinking: How can we make the second 182.5 days better than the first?

Make new friends (or reconnect with old ones)
Whether you’re a native Nashvillian or a transplant to our beautiful city, there are plenty of ways to make friends here. You can also reconnect with familiar faces through an arts and crafts class or a group outing that beats the usual dinner reservation.

Get outdoors
Looking to hit the ground running in the back half of 2025? Nashville’s run clubs are a great way to stay active and meet people along the way. For more ways to get outside, check out our parks and hiking guides.

Explore our city
Last but certainly not least, we all love finding a new spot around town to refresh our routine + add some variation to our weekends. Luckily for you, our Restaurant Roundup is updated monthly with the buzziest new eateries in the 615.
