Labor Day weekend is here and thankfully, businesses in and around Nashville are continuing to reopen, even during the coronavirus pandemic. We found nine things to do in Nashville, along with ways to save money while enjoying the long weekend, thanks in part to our partnership with both Living Social and LocalFlavor.com. Some of these deals sell out fast, so make sure to purchase early when possible.
