JULY SUMMER JAM aboard the GENERAL JACKSON SHOWBOAT

Set sail on the Cumberland River for an evening of music, food, and celebration. This event combines a three-course dinner with a three-hour scenic cruise past Nashville's downtown skyline and surrounding countryside. You'll experience live jazz, blues, R&B, and soul performances from an all-star band, along with surprise guest artists. The boat features multiple entertainment spaces, so there's something for everyone—a rooftop party with a DJ, karaoke on the second level, and a ballroom dance floor below. The evening runs about four hours total, starting with pre-party activities like photo booths and entertainment on all three levels before departure. Once underway, dinner and the main concert take place in a newly remodeled two-story theater. There's even an intermission stop downtown with a 30-minute dance party and photo opportunities as the sun sets. Early bird single tickets are $95; note that seating is assigned and group members must purchase tickets together to sit together. Dress code is casual summer linen. Proceeds benefit local nonprofits and music education programs for youth.
