🤠 Kenny Chesney at Nissan Stadium: Seats are still available to see country music's most summer-friendly singer perform hot-weather hits like "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" and, appropriately enough, "Summertime."

🎆 Fireworks at Nashville Shores: The show starts around 8:45pm Sunday and is included with admission.

• Waterpark tickets start at $32.99.

🏃 Memorial Day Dash 5K: The 22nd annual race, hosted by the Nashville City Cemetery Association and the Metro Historical Commission, starts at 7:30am Monday. The course runs through the scenic Fort Negley Historic Park.

• Registration is $40, and prizes are awarded for the best patriotic costumes.

🍻 Patio beers: The opportunities to drink outside keep increasing thanks to Nashville's growing craft brewery scene.

• TailGate's headquarters on Charlotte Pike has one of the most spacious outdoor drinking areas in the city.
• Yazoo drastically increased its outdoor seating area after relocating to Madison.
• And Diskin Cider has a comfortable patio and an events calendar loaded with food trucks, music and trivia nights.
