In this year's Summer Guide, we at the Scene take a look around Middle Tennessee for some promising ways to spend your summer. That means exploring places here in Nashville to drink while playing volleyball or throwing axes (responsibly and under supervision!) as well as visiting the drive-in, doing some outdoor volunteering, checking out a nudist camp (yes, seriously) and more. Also check out our list of coming events, including concerts, comedy and more. Dig in below.
