Cheekwood Harvest
Cheekwood turns over to fall for six weeks, and it is the rare seasonal attraction that works for a toddler and a middle schooler on the same afternoon. Marigold River and Pumpkin Village put three walk-in pumpkin houses and thousands of pumpkins along the garden paths, and the Scarecrow Trail adds 15 storybook-inspired builds from local artists and organizations.
When: Saturday, September 19 through Sunday, November 1, 2026
Where: Cheekwood, Nashville
Admission: roughly $21–$27 adults, $19–$25 seniors and $14–$22 for ages 3–17 depending on the day and whether mansion access is included. Ages 2 and under are free, members are free. Budget a $2 per-ticket service fee and $5 parking if you are not a member.
Two things worth planning around: TOTS! runs Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon with hands-on activities, story times and the Turtle Talks that little kids ask about all year. Live bands play Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 2 p.m.
