2025 Progressive Party!

Wednesday, September 17th

We’re excited to invite you to High Notes & Highballs, our annual progressive party through downtown—and one of our favorite nights of the year.

If you’ve joined us in the past for High-Rises & Honky Tonks, you’ll notice a new theme this year—High Notes & Highballs. It’s a fresh take that reflects the energy and evolution of the neighborhoods we love: 2nd Avenue, Printers Alley, and Lower Broadway.

On Wednesday, September 17, we’ll sip, savor, and stroll through three of the newest and most exciting spots in The District, including:

Each stop offers a unique taste of what makes downtown Nashville so special—with signature cocktails and chef-curated small bites included at every venue. It’s an all-inclusive evening designed to showcase the people, places, and flavors that define our city’s historic core.

This event is more than just a great night out—it’s also our biggest fundraiser of the year. Your ticket helps support The District Nashville’s ongoing mission to preserve the character, culture, and charm of these iconic streets.

This year’s Spirit of the District Award will be presented to our 2025 winner, Gary Bowie at Category 10 by former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry.

Our final stop will feature a fantastic Silent Auction with exclusive items and unforgettable experiences—proceeds go directly to support The District. Click Here to donate an auction item!

We’ve been doing this for 39 years, and it just keeps getting better. Come experience the stories, sounds, and spirit of The District.

We can’t wait to see you there!
