It takes a strong commitment to shopping to organize a road trip around the activity. Which is why you’ll be among friends at The Antiques and Garden Show of Nashville.

Even if trade shows aren’t your thing, you’ll enjoy this one. As the largest of its kind in the country (and marking its 26th year in 2016), The Antiques and Garden Show of Nashville has more than 150 vendors, multiple guest speakers, and huge indoor garden displays. The three-day event also serves as a fundraiser for the Cheekwood and Economic Club of Nashville (ECON) charities, which serve the community of Nashville by creating educational outreach programs for children and adults. To date, the Antiques and Garden Show of Nashville has raised nearly $6 million.
