Where to visit in May? Why the Grand Ole Opry of course!!!


Welcome to the Opry

What began as a simple radio broadcast in 1925is today a live-entertainment phenomenon. Dedicated to honoring country music’s rich history and dynamic present, the Grand Ole Opry showcases a mix of country legends and the contemporary chart- toppers who have followed intheir footsteps.

The Opry, an American icon and Nashville, Tennessee’s number-one attraction, is world-famous for creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for audiences of all ages.
It’s been called the “home of American music”and “country’s most famous stage.” Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make pilgrimages across town or around the world to the Opry Complex to see the show live. Millions more tune in to Opry broadcasts on television Great American Country (GAC) and CMT Canada, the radio (Nashville’s 650 AM WSM) and the internet (opry.com).

Unforgettable moments happen at the Opry every week… Moments like the night Opry legend Little Jimmy Dickens scaled a kitchen ladder to invite Trace Adkins to become an Opry member.

Or the night Carrie Underwood brought down the house with her rendition of the Tammy Wynette classic, “Stand By Your Man.” . . . or the evening Vince Gill invited jazz vocalist Diana Krall to the stagefor an impromptu duet.

The Opry Entertainment Complex consists of four unique entertainment venues: the Grand Ole Opry House, the Acuff Theatre, the Opry Museum, and the Opry Plaza
