Ready to sprinkle a little Nutcracker magic into your holiday season? Nashville Ballet’s beloved Nutcracker Tea returns Sunday, Nov. 22, from 3–5 p.m. at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, and tickets are on sale now!
This festive family event brings Clara, the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Mouse King and the Nutcracker Prince to life with an interactive mini-performance inspired by Nashville’s Nutcracker. Little guests can meet favorite characters, enjoy holiday treats, make festive crafts and take home memories of a sweet afternoon. Grown-ups can enjoy drinks and small bites, too.
Tickets are $150 for adults and $75 for children. Patron packages at the Snowflake level and above include a custom monogrammed fabric crown for young guests, courtesy of Tilly Goose, plus perks such as VIP early access, priority parking and a curated gift bag.
Beyond the holiday fun, proceeds support the School of Nashville Ballet Scholarship Fund, which provides more than $250,000 annually in merit- and need-based scholarships for dance students.
The tea kicks off the holiday season for Nashville’s Nutcracker, which returns to Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Jackson Hall Nov. 27–Dec. 27. Families can purchase tickets for the production individually or explore the new Fairytale Package, which pairs Nashville’s Nutcracker with Cinderella, running Feb. 26–28, 2027.
