The annual Fall for Cheekwood will take place on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 4:30pm to 7:00pm at Cheekwood. This classic fall festival brings families together to make memories and enjoy the very best of the season while supporting educational programs for thousands of students.

This event raises funds for Cheekwood’s dynamic community education and outreach programs, including Destination Cheekwood, which offers free field trips to all school groups from Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Northern Alabama. Children in grades pre-K through 12 can spend the day at Cheekwood learning about art, history, and science!

Attendees can expect fun fall activities, seasonal displays from Cheekwood Harvest, live music, a delicious Edley’s BBQ dinner, cocktails, and complimentary fall family photos. Guests can reserve their tickets or become a patron here.
