Whether you’re here to shop, connect, or just soak in the energy, Nash Yarn Fest is more than a marketplace—it’s a celebration of creativity, camaraderie, and color.

THE EXPERIENCE

Join us for a fun-filled weekend in Nashville—one of the hottest destinations in the country and the beloved home of Modern Daily Knitting.

On Thursday, arrive in Nashville and check in to the Fairlane Hotel, your downtown home for the weekend. Once you’ve had a chance to settle in, we’ll officially kick things off with a late afternoon private Welcome Reception at Modern Daily Knitting Headquarters. You’ll meet fellow travelers and MDK co-founders Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner, tour their creative workspace, experience a light dinner from a local favorite restaurant, and enjoy access to their charming retail shop.

As Getaway Travelers, it’s like you have a “golden ticket" to the festival—an exclusive, all-access pass including early entry to both days of the Nash Yarn Fest Marketplace, tickets to all three Big Make Togethers, and the NYF Hootenanny—events that are sold separately to the public. Plus, new this year, we will provide a box lunch for guests for each day of the festival.

At the welcome reception, we can answer any questions you might have about events and activities so you can plan accordingly. You’ll also receive your weekend itinerary, bus schedules, and other goodies. Most of all, you’ll enjoy a relaxed evening of connection and anticipation.

Start the day on Friday with a private breakfast and casual Sit & Stitch session before boarding our private coach to the Nashville Fairgrounds. Spend the day exploring vendor booths, attending demos, and savoring food truck treats—with even a few fiber animals in attendance! Need a break? In the evening, enjoy the lively NYF Hootenanny, a festive celebration with live bluegrass, line dancing, and vendor mingling right at the Fairgrounds.

On Saturday after breakfast, we return to the festival for another exciting day at the Nash Yarn Fest to enjoy a second day of Marketplace as well as a chance to hear a group talk with a well known star in the knitting world.

Saturday night you have the chance to hear a show at the Grand Ole Opry—a cherished Nashville institution. The Opry schedule hasn't been published yet, but your ticket is already reserved for this "must do" experience. If the Opry isn't your style, you'll have the option to participate in a food tour of Nashville on Sunday instead.

Sunday is yours to shape. Want a slower morning? Sleep in, brunch with friends, or head out on your own. We'll have a bus booked for the day with pickup and drop off options at sites including The Ryman, The Country Music Hall of Fame, National Museum of African American Music, The Frist Art Museum and more. In the evening, we’ll gather one last time for a farewell dinner at one of Nashville’s top restaurants, followed by a final night of Sit & Stitch in the hotel lobby bar.

On Monday, enjoy a leisurely breakfast using a breakfast voucher at the hotel café before heading out. 

Whether you're heading home or staying one more night, we hope you’ll leave inspired, connected, and already dreaming of next year.

THE STAY

This year, our Nash Yarn Fest Getaway guests will enjoy a four-night stay at the Fairlane Hotel, a stylish 81-room boutique property nestled in the heart of downtown Nashville’s business and arts district—just a short stroll from Broadway, the Ryman, and other city highlights.

Housed in a striking 12-story modernist building from 1972, the Fairlane blends mid-century design—think terrazzo floors, brass accents, and wood paneling—with modern-day comforts and hospitality.

Spacious and thoughtfully appointed, King and Double Queen rooms include:

• Pillowtop beds
• Flat-screen TVs
• Minibars
• In-room safes
• Plush bathrobes
• Complimentary Wi‑Fi
• Bottled water refreshed daily

We know parking in Nashville can be pricey, so we’ve arranged discounted valet parking at just $30 per night exclusively for our guests.

Daily Breakfast & Stitching Time

Each morning begins with a private, catered breakfast in Ellington’s Restaurant & Bar, located on the hotel’s 4th floor. On relaxed mornings, you’re welcome to linger over coffee, knit, and chat with fellow travelers.

For your final morning, use your $30 breakfast credit at the Modern Love for a casual, on-your-own breakfast.

Evenings at the Fairlane

In the evenings, gather in the spacious, stylish lobby for a nightcap, conversation, and stitching with new friends. And to kick things off right, you’ll be welcomed with a complimentary arrival drink.

The Fairlane offers the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and convenience—making it an ideal home base for our fiber-filled weekend in Nashville.
