Cheekwood Estate and Gardens has long been a family favorite in the Nashville area, and every Autumn, one of their most popular annual events becomes the talk of the town: The Harvest Festival.
With the already stunning grounds in full fall colors, the Harvest Festival is the best time of year to visit the gardens at Cheekwood.
One of the most popular attractions every year is the set of pumpkin houses that are erected throughout the garden. You can go inside for the perfect Fall picture!
Every Fall features some different activities, but for 2020, you can expect the annual pumpkin house village, the explosion of mums around the gardens, and even the Howl-oween dog parade!
The 2020 Harvest Festival coincides with a guest set of installations throughout the gardens by world-renowned sculptor Dale Chihuly. His glass sculptures perfectly accentuate the Fall colors.
