(Courtesy of Metro Parks and Gary Layda)Centennial Park (or Parthenon Park), as its name suggests, was founded in celebration of Tennessee’s Centennial Exposition. As part of the 100-year festivities, an exact replica of the Parthenon was erected and still stands to this day. A trip to Centennial Park is always refreshing, whether you are looking for a spot for a relaxing activity or lounging.

During the summer months, there are frequent crafts fairs, food truck appearances and live music festivals. The gorgeous weather calls for flowy maxi dresses, wedges and woven hats. A straw hat in Nashville is a must – as a fashion statement and for keeping the bright sun off your face. If catching rays isn't your thing, lay low under the gorgeous oak trees in a fun, Moroccan-printed jumper and oversized sunglasses. Either way, a trip to Centennial Park is not complete without a sighting and visit to the Grilled Cheeserie, which serves the best sandwich in town.
