FAQ
Are these performances really free?
Yes! All Opera on Wheels events are free and open to the public, except for our September 10 performance at the Nashville Fair’s Buckshee Brewfest. For that event, admission to the fairgrounds is required, and only the first 400 guests (age 21+) at the Courtyard Stage will receive entry to the performance. Those lucky guests will also receive a souvenir tasting glass and samples from 8 local breweries—until supplies run out.
Should I bring a lawn chair or blanket?
Most of our venues are outdoor spaces without seating provided. Bring what makes you comfortable, such as lawn chairs or picnic blankets. NOTE: Please do not bring lawn chairs/blankets into the Nashville Fairgrounds.
Can I bring food or drinks?
Most venues allow outside food and beverages, so feel free to pack a picnic or snacks. However, the Nashville Fair has specific guidelines—no outside food or drinks are allowed, but there are plenty of local vendors on-site. Check each venue's website for the most accurate info.
Is there parking? Should I arrive early?
Parking is available at most venues, although it is often limited. We strongly encourage early arrival to secure a good spot and enjoy the atmosphere before the music begins.
Where can I find more details about each location?
Each venue has its own policies and amenities. For up-to-date information, you can visit the official websites linked below each event listing.
