Nashville Fall Festival
Fall festival · Nashville · Tennessee
A working farm on the west side of Nashville turns into a full fall carnival each year, with a corn maze, a sunflower field left over from summer, hayrides and a pumpkin patch all on one property. Some weekends even bring helicopter rides over the farm if you want the color from the air.
