Grand Ole Opry’s 100th Birthday

Welcome to Nashville! We will check into the Gaylord Opryland Resort for a two-night stay in our beautiful view rooms. Check out the beautiful gardens and cascading waterfalls. This evening our group will enjoy a delicious group dinner and then be entertained by one of Nashville’s most successful songwriters. This is an opportunity to hear major hit songs in their original form and get the inside scoop on what was going on in the songwriter’s life that inspired these classics! (D)

This morning enjoy a full breakfast before we begin our local guided tour through the heart of the downtown area and past many of the historic buildings including the Ryman Auditorium, Tootsie’s world-famous Orchid Lounge, Honky Tonk Highway, Tennessee’s State Capitol, Bicentennial Mall State Park, Music Row, Vanderbilt University, Centennial Park including an exact replica of the Parthenon, and much more! Lunch will be on your own at Nashville’s newest dining and shopping complex at 5th and Broadway. We will celebrate the Opry’s 100th Birthday Bash with a backstage tour of the Opry House. Our Dinner Party will be catered by Ole Red in Studio A, before the Grand Ole Opry performance, including a special appearance by an Opry artist backstage. You will have an opportunity to have a photo op with the giant Opry 100th Birthday Cake. (B,D)
