Weekend Forecast

🌧️ Expect a chance of rain on Saturday and temps in the high 40s.

Howdy, Nashville — Skylar here. The chilly weather has me curling up inside most days. Between this and one of my 2024 goals being to learn a new craft, I’m eyeing tickets to the hand embroidery class on Sunday. Keep scrolling for eight other upcoming events.

Hey, Nashville — Skylar here. Saturday, Dec. 16 marks one week since the destructive storms and tornadoes that impacted our community. If you haven’t, I’d encourage you to review this resource we compiled sharing ways you can help our neighbors.

There are still a few volunteer spots here and there open this weekend via Hands On Nashville (scroll a little over halfway down the webpage). These opportunities also extend into next week if you can’t find a time that works or the opportunities fill up.
