Welcome Back!!🤠
As a Nashvillian, one of my favorite places to visit as the crisp autumn air settles over Nashville, is Cheekwood Estate & Gardens! With its stunning landscapes, artistic displays, and seasonal events, Cheekwood offers a magical fall experience for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re a lover of nature, art, or just looking for the perfect weekend activity with friends and family, the Cheekwood Fall Harvest is a must-see on your autumn calendar.
Embrace the Fall Vibes at the Harvest Festival
Every year, Cheekwood transforms into an autumn wonderland with its Fall Harvest.The atmosphere is warm and festive, making it the ideal spot for a cozy day out. With giant pumpkin displays, scarecrow installations, and a wide variety of seasonal blooms, this festival is both a feast for the eyes and the soul.
For families, there’s no shortage of activities! Children can enjoy hands-on arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, and the exciting hayrides that offer breathtaking views of the estate. And if you’re bringing a group of friends, why not snap some Instagram-worthy photos by the towering pumpkin houses or the whimsical scarecrows? The opportunities for capturing fall memories here are endless. 
Explore the Botanical Gardens
Aside from the festive fun, Cheekwood’s Botanical Gardens are a year-round treasure. However, there’s something particularly special about exploring the gardens in the fall. The cool, crisp air makes for a refreshing walk through the various themed gardens, from the tranquil Japanese Garden to the beautifully manicured Wills Perennial Garden. If you’re a plant enthusiast, you’ll love seeing how the seasonal changes bring new colors and textures to the landscape.
The arboretum, filled with native Tennessee trees, becomes a vibrant tapestry of autumn hues. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing stroll, perhaps with a warm cup of coffee in hand from one of the nearby Nashville cafes (we’ve got some recommendations in The Brew section of our blog!). 
Enjoy a Day of Art and Culture
One of the unique features of Cheekwood is its blend of nature and art. The museum housed in the mansion offers rotating exhibits, while the outdoor sculpture trail allows visitors to appreciate contemporary art set against the backdrop of nature’s beauty. During the fall season, many exhibits take on autumnal themes, adding another layer of depth to your visit.
If you’re visiting with family, this is a great opportunity to inspire a love of art in children and adults alike, as the immersive experience of art surrounded by nature is truly captivating.
Why Cheekwood is a Must-Visit This Fall
Cheekwood in the fall is more than just a garden—it’s an experience. Whether you’re planning a fun-filled day with the kids or a peaceful outing with friends, the Fall Harvest and Botanical Gardens offer something for everyone.
