March is the ‘unplannable’ month. You could wear shorts and flip flops on Monday and snow boots on Friday. It’s the month where we start dreaming of Spring no matter how wild our winter has been.
After living through many decades of Tennessee weather, I’ve just learned to roll with it. Make you plans (pack your umbrella!) and hope for the best.
- Check our Pinterest Boards for Spring activities. Rain or shine!
- Do you get a Spring Break this month? Check out our Road Trip section for ideas close to home and farther away.
- Make plans to attend the Kids Art Festival of Tennessee in Franklin on March 25.
- Celebrate St Patrick’s Day (March 17) at an Irish Pub. (Go early – before adults start celebrating!) Try McNamara’s or Kavanagh’s for a family friendly Irish celebration. We also found some great ideas on Pinterest.
- Celebrate Women’s History with a special tour at the Tennessee State Museum every weekend in March.
- The Stardust Drive In opens for the season on March 3rd. If the weather warms up (who knows?) there’s no better way to spend a Friday night!
- Get tickets now for an Owl Prowl at Sam Davis Home’s Family Night at the Museum on March 31.
- Take a spring hike at any Tennessee State Park. Pick one you have never visited before and make a new favorite!
- Welcome Spring at Cheekwood on Saturday March 11. Don’t miss the opportunity to see over 100,000 tulips in bloom as the gardens at Cheekwood open for the season.
- Dig for fossils at Fort Negley Park in Nashville. Don’t forget to bring a shovel and a bag to bring home your treasures.
