Bluebird on the Mountain
To enjoy music from some of Nashville’s top players and bask in the sunset, families and friends travel to the Observatory by the carload. They bring blankets, lawn chairs and picnics to relax and revel on the hilltop’s front lawn.
Bluebird on the Mountain concerts happen around the portico of the Observatory. Once the stars appear, the telescope is opened on the patio so guests can view the celestial landscape above. Artists who will perform are announced closer to the event date for each month’s installment.
